Description of the item:
A stunning pair of iron candlesticks, entirely hand-forged and hammered, shaped like a dragon's head with an iron tongue folded to symbolize fire coming out of the dragon's mouth, on which the candle holder rests. A wonderful example of artistic craftsmanship from the early decades of the 20th century. The pair is extremely heavy, made entirely by hand from wrought iron, without a mold, making it an extremely difficult and laborious process. The evident patina covering the two objects is also perfectly in line with our dating.
Useful information for evaluating the object:
Our research shows that wrought iron candlesticks made entirely by hand without molds are extremely rare, almost impossible to find. In fact, all those we have found are either molded with minimal wrought iron work to finish the object, or simply molded without any handcrafting, and are offered for between €150 and €300, while iron objects with hand-forged dragon decorations are offered for a minimum of €400-500 up to over €1,900.
