PAIR OF CANDLE-STICKS

Polychrome pair of winged tritons, a male and a female, kneeling on a base with pale blue scrollwork: their raised arms support two bobeche holders.

The two figures, of pronounced baroque influence, belong to the same typology as the épergnes shown in this exhibition (see exhibit nr. 161) although the attitude in which the figures are posed is reminiscent of the well-known triton published by Ginori Lisci (1963, plate XVII), today in the Stibbert Museum in Florence (inv. 302).
