Each sculptural form rises as a stylized flowering branch, adorned with delicately shaped iron leaves and clusters of blossoms accented with soft gilt highlights. The naturalistic design reflects the romantic decorative character associated with mid-century Italian craftsmanship, blending classical influence with artisanal detail.
The blackened wrought iron retains a beautifully aged patina, while the carved urn-form giltwood bases display warm tonal variation and gentle wear that enhances their authentic antique character. The tall iron spikes are designed to securely hold pillar or taper candles, creating dramatic vertical movement when placed on a mantel, console, or dining table.
Graceful yet architectural, these antique Italian pricket candle holders make a refined statement whether displayed as a pair flanking a mirror or styled as sculptural accents in a traditional or eclectic interior. Excellent condition commensurate with age and use.
