Offered here is a pair of truly fabulous candlesticks that are likely French in origin. They probably date to the early 19th century and possibly a bit earlier. They have impressive height (nearly 21"), and the most beautiful turned column. Each one is just slightly different, but close enough to be considered a pair. They have worm holes and nicks and bumps. The base at one time was drilled for lamps, but that has since been filled, and one candlestick has been repaired in a couple of ...click for details
Offered here is a beautiful carved wood figure of a saint in flowing robe, looking heavenward with an expression of awe on the face. The robe is entirely gilded and, remarkably, most remains.

The height is approximately 13.5".
