Figure - Cherub Candlestick Roccoco style - Bronze

Bronze Rococo Revival Cherub Candlestick In Excellent Condition – No Reserve Imagine a softly lit room where the glow of a single candle dances across antique wood, casting warm reflections on a sculptural bronze figure. This Rococo Revival cherub candlestick, dating from the period 1850–1870, brings exactly that atmosphere: theatrical, elegant and full of 19th-century romantic charm. Its playful putto form rises from an ornate acanthus-decorated base, the raised arm leading into a swirling C-scroll that supports the candle plate. The piece has been left deliberately unpolished, allowing the new owner to decide whether to preserve the beautiful aged patina or polish it to a radiant golden high gloss for a more opulent effect. Dimensions: 30 × 12 × 12 cm (h × w × d) Material: Solid bronze Period 1850–1870; France Weight: approx. 1.65 kg Condition: In excellent vintage condition, with a naturally aged surface consistent with its period. Please study the photos for a precise impression. Historical context: Between 1850 and 1870, the Rococo Revival movement swept across Europe, celebrating the ornate elegance of 18th-century French design. Putti, C-scrolls, shells and rich acanthus leaves returned to interior decoration, particularly in bourgeois homes seeking artistic refinement and romantic exuberance. Bronze candlesticks like this were used to illuminate parlours, salons and festive tables with atmospheric candlelight. A refined decorative object and a true eye-catcher in any interior — from a classic salon to a modern curated space.
