EDITORS COMMENTS

Titled "Candlestick with Two Ignudi on Top of a Vase with Lion Heads, 1552" this anonymous creation is an exquisite example of antique craftsmanship. The intricate details and delicate design are truly awe-inspiring. The candlestick itself stands tall, adorned with two graceful figures known as Ignudi at its pinnacle.
