Near Pair of Candle Stands or Torchères, Late 17th Century, English
Located in BUNGAY, SUFFOLK
Due to their utilitarian nature, surviving pairs of 17th century candle stands/torchères are extremely rare and generally only seen today in great houses. The quality of the marquetry decoration and the attention to detail indicate that these candle stands were probably made for a substantial household.
