These large and heavy whimsical bronze candlesticks depict two walking frogs dressed in Victorian style attire holding a top hat in one hand and a green lily pad in the other with a spike to hold the candle. They are sporting a hand painted burnt orange gentleman's coat trimmed in gold with low rise pants and boots. The frogs have no vest and show their protruding stomach and belly button. A humorous example of antique trending animalia.

These candlesticks are heavy, weighing approximately six pounds each. As seen in the last few photos, these candlesticks are quite old and are hollow-cast bonze with a dark brown colored bronze patina. They are filled with a cement-like material giving them even more weight and stability.

A rare and fanciful unique antique book matching pair of large standing frogs which are very reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland. Perfect for a large mantelpiece in any luxury high end home.

GOOD VINTAGE CONDITION. Very minor paint loss. Felt bottoms will be attached and are included in the sale.
