This fabulous handmade conversation starter will be a delightful accent in any entry, dining room, parlor, bar or tabletop — especially those places where a little height is needed in your interior decor (as this statue is roughly 16" tall including the black base). I envision this lovely candle holder in a Palm Beach Island home or a British Colonial home. Truly a one-of-a-kind decorative item to treasure for generations to come.

Dimensions: 6"W x 4.5"D x 16"H (the black stand is roughly 3"H)
Condition: Great vintage condition; wear consistent with age. Please see pics for details. Heavy item. Removable candle holder / bobeche, as desired.
Material: appears to be made of bronze or heavy clay with a bronze finish.

What is a bobeche? A bobeche is a glass collar on a candle socket to catch drippings or on a candlestick or chandelier to hold suspended glass prisms.

What are breeches? Breeches as a fashion garment were standard everyday attire for European and American men from the sixteenth through eighteenth centuries (American men after 1565). The term comes from Middle English "breech," which was originally the Old English word "bre–c" or "bre'c,"—the –c," a leg covering. See less
