The pine wood of these French candlesticks has a beautiful satiny brown patina with darkened grains that truly stand out. Hand-carved in the early 1900s, the candlesticks have a tripartite base, with each side adorned with a low-relief carving of a fleur de lys. Each flower is flanked by a pair of graceful S-scrolls that terminate in whorls just above the small, shaped feet. The columns are highly carved, with several protruding rings of varying sizes that give the shafts an undulating appearance. Quarter-round molding finishes both candlesticks, with circular, iron bobeches on top, embellished with round crenelation and tall prickets. These French pine candlesticks are quite eye-popping and would instantly attract attention wherever they are placed, such as a mantel ledge, a sofa table, or on a console.

CONDITION: Very good antique condition. Commensurate wear to iron. The bobeches are not attached and one pricket cover is missing. Light nicks and rubs to wood.
