The putti, representing the children of Bacchus, symbolize joy, abundance, and festivity, depicted with their playful poses, vine-leaf wreaths, and draped garments. Their cherubic forms exude vitality, enhanced by the intricate details of their curly hair adorned with grapes.

The candlesticks are designed as cornucopias, symbolizing prosperity, forming the candle holders. The figures rest on circular white marble bases, framed by delicately crafted gilt bronze garlands of pearls, adding an air of refinement. Supported by four elegant bronze feet, the bases exhibit the neoclassical influence of the Louis XVI style, characterized by symmetry, harmony, and classical motifs.

Electrified for modern use, this pair serves as functional art, offering both aesthetic and historical value. Perfect for enthusiasts of mythologically inspired decor, these candlesticks merge artistic finesse with practical utility, making them a centerpiece for sophisticated interiors.
