Item Description
An exquisite and finely scaled pair of antique, opposing hand-carved wood cherub tabletop candle prickets, dating to the late 18th century/ early 19th century. Likely of Italian or Continental origin, each delightfully expressive figure is dynamically modeled in the round with deep, crisp chisel marks highlighting their softly curled hair and gracefully draped waist loincloths.
Each cherub holds aloft a stylized, hand-carved cornucopia or leaf-form bobeche basin, which houses a traditional central iron pricket spike designed to secure thick pillar or beeswax candles. The figures stand gracefully on integrated, carved square plinths featuring classic architectural silver gilt egg-and-dart molding accents.
Dimensions: 6" W at base, 4 5/8" D at base, 12" H to top of head.
Condition: possible old professional repair to one arm, very fine hairlines to plinths, overall good condition consistent with age.
