This sculptural pairing includes one tall candlestick and one shorter companion, intentionally varied in height to create visual rhythm, depth, and a collected, European feel.

Both pieces are boldly carved with classical forms, turned shafts, and substantial tripod bases. The surfaces exhibit extensive age-related wear, including paint loss, surface texture, old cracking, worming, and areas of exposed wood. These layers of wear contribute to a richly developed patina that speaks to their age, history, and authentic use.

Ideal for flanking a fireplace, anchoring a console or sideboard, or styling an entryway vignette where asymmetry and patina add drama and character. Offered and sold together as a curated pair.
