Pair Of Candlesticks In Gilt Bronze, Napoleon III Period - Mid-19th Century

Charming bronze candlesticks depicting kneeling fauns holding a cornucopia, resting on a circular white marble base. These two mythological half-child half-goat creatures, companions of Dionysos, God of the vine and drunkenness, are depicted naked, surrounded by flowers and garlands of vine leaves. Each faun is accompanied by a musical instrument: a tambourine and a lute, emphasizing their festive character. In their hands, a long cornucopia is surrounded, in the upper part, by flowers and foliage. The top can accommodate the candle of your choice. These end tables of the most beautiful effect will find their place in a warm and refined interior. ******** Period: Mid 19th century Very good condition. Chips on the marble bases.
