About the Item

This unique Pair of Flamingoes & Lily Flower Candlesticks by Senzo Duma Ceramics is a testament to South African artistry, meticulously hand-sculpted by Phomotso Mafura and vibrantly hand-painted by Senzo Duma. Each piece, standing approximately 19 inches tall, about 11 inches long, and 7 inches wide, is truly one-of-a-kind. The candlesticks portray graceful flamingos, their elegant postures forming the main structure, surrounded by lush lily flowers. The base features a distinctive pattern resembling leopard spots, an artistic choice that evokes the power and majesty of African wildlife. While flamingos symbolize elegance, resilience, and communal harmony in Africa's vital wetlands, also highlighting crucial conservation efforts, the leopard is revered in South Africa, particularly by the Zulu people, as a symbol of royalty, leadership, and formidable strength. This intriguing combination of flamingo's beauty with the leopard's powerful motif speaks to the rich tapestry of African nature and its diverse symbolism, making these candlesticks a profound blend of bespoke ceramic art and cultural narrative.

20th Century - Whimsical Pair of Large Carved and Painted Wood Flamingos
Located in Morristown, NJ
Late 20th c., a pair of vibrantly painted wooden flamingo floor sculptures, each with a fish in mouth. One is signed "MW" on the underside. Painted in pink and lilac respectively and both with painted details to resemble feathers. Each flamingo is holding a fish in its beak. Both fish have been painted in contrasting colors to those of the flamingos. The gold painted beaks and legs add an additional element of whimsy to these carved sculptures. They are life size and will be sure to draw attention and likely a smile. They would look great on the deck of a seaside home, as a welcoming pair by a front door, in a child's bedroom or even as a bathroom accent. Please Note: To reduce the cost of shipping, each will be professionally packed by a specialist service in advance of UPS shipping. This is significantly less expensive than white glove shipping. Dimensions: 46"h x 7"w x 10"d Condition: Good/Fair, one with repair to red feathers on top...
