A pair of French 19th century bronze figurative double candlesticks circa 1860

About the Item

This highly decorative pair of mid 19th century bronze double candlesticks are beautifully cast in solid bronze. They have very good detail and are each in the form of a medieval watchman who is modelled wearing a simple hat, robe and leggings with knee high boots. Around his waist he has a leather belt from which hangs a bag of provisions a drinking flask and a string of game birds for his super. The watchman is holding a decorative candle sconce in each hand which represents the lanterns that he would have actually been carrying. Each figure is left and right handed and raised onto an oval moulded bronze plinth which displays these interesting candlesticks to great advantage. They are both in very good condition with a green/brown patination. French circa 1860 Height 25cm x width 14cm x depth 12cm
