About the Item

This exquisite pair of Empire-period candlesticks, likely of English origin, showcases a striking neoclassical design. Crafted with an intricate attention to detail, each candlestick is adorned with a finely sculpted winged sphinx motif, a design element symbolizing strength and mystery that was popular during the early 19th century. The sphinxes sit gracefully atop a pedestal base embellished with geometric patterns, exuding both elegance and power. Constructed from silvered bronze, these candlesticks exhibit a well-preserved finish that highlights their antique charm. Their solid, elevated bases are supported by four rounded feet, adding stability and a touch of refinement. Ideal for collectors or enthusiasts of neoclassical decor, this pair would serve as a stunning addition to any period-inspired interior. Perfect for mantelpieces or side tables, these candlesticks are both functional and sculptural, embodying the grandeur of the Empire aesthetic.
