Pair Of Antique Anthropomorphic Brass Candlesticks

Description:

His outstretched arms support two candle holders with notched candle sockets, allowing each candelabrum to hold two candles. The quality of the engraving and casting is exceptional, with meticulous details on the face, crown, and attire. The golden patina is superb and attests to the object’s authenticity and age. Perfect for adding a touch of character, a cabinet of curiosities vibe, or a “Haute Époque” atmosphere to your interior decor.
