Pair Of Carved And Polychrome Wooden Candlestick Holders—18th Century
A spectacular pair of carved wooden candlestick doors, polychrome and gilded, depicting a pair of angels dressed in ancient-style tunics, each holding a twisted shaft designed to hold a light.
These sculptures exemplify the decorative refinement characteristic of the grand religious and aristocratic furnishings of the 18th century.
The figures are rendered with great delicacy of expression, featuring finely modeled faces.
The long tunics are accented with pastel tones—celadon blue and dusty pink—and embellished with painted decorations and gilded highlights.
The twisted shafts mimic Solomonic columns in the spirit of Baroque decor.
