Feature beautiful hand-painted detailing throughout including floral motif, Chinese fretwork design and flying cranes. The porcelain candleholders can be separated from the rosewood bases. Good vintage condition; some signs of wear and use. One of the bases has a foot repair. It is not overly apparent and structurally it stands soundly. One of the horns on one of the elephants appears to be missing a point, but it is fully glazed so it is assumed this was intentional by the artist. These pieces are marked "Macaw" on the bottom of the rosewood bases.

Dimensions, base and candleholder together: 7"L x 4.75"W x 8.5"H
