Pair Of 19th-Century Painted Wood Pricket Candlesticks W/ Cherub Decor - 31½"

This exquisite pair of 19th-century wooden pricket candlesticks is a refined tribute to the enduring elegance of classical design. Each rests on a tripodal base, graced with the joyful presence of smiling cherub faces carved on all three sides, lending a sense of warmth and lightness to their substantial form. The slender wooden shafts rise with graceful lines, and are topped with painted metal bobeches shaped like delicate flowers. The current white finish is not original (they were likely polychrome when first crafted) but the choice of a soft, neutral tone enhances their decorative appeal, allowing the sculptural details to shine and making them especially versatile in today’s interiors.

Placed on a mantle or used as dramatic table centerpieces, they could transform a setting into one of timeless sophistication and graceful charm. Whether illuminating a formal dining table or enhancing a tranquil living space, these candlesticks bring a touch of chic romantism to any setting.
