Pair of Carved Lacquered and Gilded Candle Holder Angels Italian Sculptures 1650s

About the Item

Pair of mid-1600s Italian Sculptures, lacquered and gilded carved candleholder angels, two cherubs with cornucopia in carved, gilded and polychrome lacquered wood, mid-17th century. Resting on a shaped, cloud-carved, silver-plated base, the two angels are dressed in soft red lacquered drapery with gold borders and stoles and hold the blue lacquered cornucopia with octagonal facets with one arm and point to the sky with the other hand. The expressions on the faces are serene with the hair characterized by deep golden curls. The two figures have a graceful and well-proportioned posture; they show widespread color falls compatible with the seventeenth-century date. They come from northern Italy.

  • Pair of French 17th Century Angel Candle Holders in Carved Elmwood
    Located in Dallas, TX
    Standing at over two feet tall, this 17th century pair of angel candlesticks has been carved out of a beautiful French elm wood. Because elm wood typically has an interlocked grain, it can be quite difficult to carve or split. These candlesticks were produced by a master craftsman in France during the 1600s. Our angels have long, wavy hair that extends past their shoulders. They are wearing long flowing gowns with scalloped collars and half sleeves. The loosely draped robe reaches their ankles, exposing bare feet that stand upon a round base. One leg is also visible from behind the material due to a slit at mid-thigh. Each angel is holding a turned candle holder that has a large wrought iron pricket with a lobed bobeche. In France, this type of candle holder is known as an Ange Céroféraire. A ceroferary is the acolyte...
