About the Item

Whimsical and full of character, this rare pair of Italian carved wood candlestick stands was crafted circa 1850 and features finely detailed parrots perched in lively poses atop tall botanical columns. One bird is painted in rich red plumage, the other in soft blue, both rendered in warm polychrome tones that enhance their sculptural charm. Each figure rests on a flowerhead-form candle platform with an iron pricket, suggesting the pair may have originally served an ecclesiastical or ceremonial purpose before being adapted for decorative display. The columns themselves are carved with stylized foliate motifs and raised on stepped square bases, all retaining their original distressed painted finish in sage green, ochre, and antique gold. Measuring 27 inches high by 6.25 inches wide and deep, this unique pair blends folk art whimsy with Italianate elegance. In good antique condition with age-appropriate surface wear, they make ideal statement pieces for a sunroom, library, or eclectic interior.
