An exceptional and rare pair of vintage bronze candlesticks featuring the mythical Dragon-Turtle (Longgui). Each piece is intricately cast, showing a detailed turtle shell with gilt highlights, a dragon-like head, and a coiled snake wrapped around the central pillar—classic elements of this legendary creature. Atop each pillar sits a lotus-form candle cup. The bronze features a dark, aged patina with remnants of the original gilt finish. These heavy, sculptural pieces make a striking statement on a dining table, mantel, or console. (Note: Candles shown are for display only and are not included).
