19th century Pair Black Forest Chicken Vase Epergne Candleholder Carved Wood Set

About the Item

~ Direct from Europe This listing is for a stunning pair of carved Black Forest “chicken” candleholders/epergnes. In the summer, the glass inserts were used and fresh cut flowers were arranged in the holders; in the winter the glass was removed and the holders were used for candlesticks! ~ (We seldom find the glass epergnes, they are typically broken or lost over the years) ~ Obviously these were done by a master carver, just look at the details, even the eyes of the chickens are life-like! Notice the smaller chicks, the feather details, the contouring and shaping of the bodies. ~ An original matched pair, see how they face one another!! circa 1880. Measurements: Carved wood statues, 15” height x 8” x 7”; Glass epergne, approximate 8.25” height x 5.5”. NOTE: All of our antiques are direct from Europe. I personally select each item for the quality, design and unique characteristics that you will always find in our distinctive inventory at Geaux Vintage Antiques. …”with all that, why ‘Geaux’ anywhere else?” …
