These sculptural candlesticks feature an architectural vertical form with openwork tripodal bases, pointed Gothic elements, and richly detailed foliate decoration.
A particularly striking feature is the central hexagonal section adorned with relief medallions depicting a coiled serpent or dragon motif, a symbolic element often found in ecclesiastical metalwork of the period.
The wide drip pans with serrated edges and the overall monumental presence strongly suggest church or chapel use.
A rare and decorative pair, ideal for collectors of Gothic Revival, ecclesiastical antiques, or architectural bronze objects.
