Total weight for 2 candlesticks is 11,4kg and dimensions are H74 x W21 x D21 cm Bronze pricket candlesticks from the 1700s (18th century) are fascinating artifacts that blend utility with artistry. The design and finish of the candlesticks are a very beautiful piece of art. Pricket candlesticks are among the earliest forms of candle holders, featuring a spike (pricket) to hold the candle before sockets became standard. By the 18th century, these candlesticks evolved from purely functional items into decorative objects, often used in churches, wealthy homes, and ceremonial settings. Baroque and Rococo styles were dominant in the 1700s. Baroque: Bold, symmetrical, and dramatic with heavy ornamentation. Rococo: More playful and asymmetrical, with floral and shell motifs.

Shipping details: The objects will be shipped very good packed and in a protected packaging. Pickup or via transport is both possible.
