Pair of Polychrome Wooden Candle Holder Angels – 17th Century

Magnificent pair of carved and finely painted polychrome wooden candle holder angels, with well-preserved original gilding.

The figures, depicted in a dynamic pose as they advance through the clouds, have richly crafted gilded wings and wear robes with soft, natural folds.

Each angel holds an elegant, twisted cornucopia of plenty painted in blue.

Fruit punctuated by leaves is carved on top, surmounted by a candle holder.

The faces, with their serene and delicate expressions, testify to the quality of the carving and the high level of craftsmanship of the original workshop.
