Pair of Antique French Altar Candlesticks
Behold a charming duo of 19th-century altar candlesticks, a testament to time's gentle embrace. The robust brass body, once cloaked in paint, now reveals a delightful patina as the hues gracefully wear away, lending them a quaint, shabby elegance. It remains a mystery whether this artistic effect was a deliberate choice or a whimsical result of age. Substantial and steadfast, these treasures boast a gothic allure, adorned with three horned animal heads gracing each corner, while three oval sun lozenges, each bearing a visage, captivate the eye. For a more vivid portrayal, kindly peruse the accompanying images and allow your imagination to wander.
