  • Description
    PAIR OF NEO-GREC BRONZE URNS ON BLACK MARBLE WITH CANDLESTICK CREST
    Probably France, circa 1880

    14" H x 5 1/4" W (base diameter 4 3/4")

    A finely cast pair of patinated and parcel-gilt bronze candlesticks in the form of urns, each is firmly weighted on a molded circular plinth of black Belgian marble. The bodies are decorated with low-relief neoclassical ornament including laurel scrolls, palmettes and central gilt-framed medallions depicting female masks. Twin handles sweep upward in volute form, each emerging from a finely modeled crowned male busts, the surface showing a deep brown patina with traces of gilt highlighting. The top is almost certainly designed to hold a candlestick, the ornamental finial petals acting as a functional drip catch and aesthetic termination to the candlesticks. They present beautifully as simple urns, but the utility and warmth added by using wax candles in them is hard to resist.

    Condition: Excellent overall condition with light wear to gilding and rubbing/translucency to the patinated surface. Minor surface marks consistent with age and a few tiny chips around the base. Ready to place.
