An extraordinary and monumental pair of antique Chinese bronze altar candlesticks, sourced from a private collection. These magnificent pieces are a tour de force of traditional metalwork, showcasing exquisite craftsmanship and a rich, aged patina.
The candlesticks are masterfully cast in an archaic bronze form, heavily adorned with intricate gold (gilt) inlay featuring scrolling patterns and stylized Taotie motifs. The elegant necks are flanked by sculptural mythical birds (phoenixes) serving as handles, which rest gracefully upon ornate lotus-petal bases with pierced, geometric detailing.
Standing at an impressive 69 cm (27.1 inches) tall and weighing 10 kg (22 lbs) each, this pair possesses a commanding physical presence. They are perfect as museum-quality statement pieces to flank a grand fireplace, anchor a formal dining room, or elevate a luxurious entryway.
