EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two exquisite candelabra in the form of revelling putti, dating back to the late 18th century. Crafted by the skilled hands of European artisans, these whimsical and ornate pieces are a true testament to neoclassical artistry. The candelabra stand tall with patinated and gilt bronze bodies, adorned with Carrara marble socles at their base. Their slender columns twist and curve elegantly, while fluted details add an extra touch of sophistication. These girandoles feature intricate metalwork that is both decorative and mesmerizing. Atop each candelabrum sits a pair of dancing putti - cherubic infants who exude joy and playfulness. The nakedness of these cherubs adds an element of innocence to the overall composition. With cornucopias in hand, symbolizing abundance and prosperity, they create a harmonious balance between rococo opulence and neoclassical refinement. These matching candlesticks radiate golden hues that catch the light beautifully when illuminated by flickering flames. They serve not only as functional objects but also as stunning works of art that enhance any space they grace. Now housed within the Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford in the UK, this extraordinary display captures our imagination with its intricate detailing and whimsy. It stands as a remarkable example of European craftsmanship from centuries past – a testament to human creativity enduring through time.
