Each example features a fully modeled putto supporting a foliate torch-form candle cup, rising from an intricately cast base adorned with garlands, scrollwork, and classical medallions in relief. The quality of casting and depth of modeling reflect skilled workshop production, with a gilt surface that has developed a desirable, time-softened patina.

At 14 inches in height, the pair maintains strong visual presence while offering versatility across mantel, console, or dining settings. Pieces of this sculptural character continue to perform well within the secondary design market, where form and material drive demand.
