Pair Regency Period Bronzed Giltwood Torchères
Located in Lymington, GB
A fine and rare pair of English Regency period torchères, or stands (or candle stands) in the manner of Thomas Hope. Circa 1810.
Both are raised on tapering simulated-bronze column supports with circular tops and fluted gilt collars, on concave-sided triform bases with winged-panther mask monopodia. The column bases issue from spreading, gilded, carved lotuses.
These antique torcheres might also be referred to as columns, ornamental stands, candle sticks, or candelabra.
In superb condition throughout.
