Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Venetian style figural candlesticks, historically inspired by seventeenth and eighteenth-century European decorative arts, feature sculpted figures holding candle sconces aloft. These decorative objects gained widespread popularity across Europe during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as ornamental tabletop lighting.

These decorative pieces were typically cast from heavy metals such as iron, spelter, or bronze, and subsequently finished with hand-painted polychrome enamel pigments. Sconces and bases were frequently cast separately and connected with internal threaded rods.

Authentic period examples display natural surface wear, faint seam lines from multi-part mould casting, and age-appropriate oxidation in crevice details. The physical weight of cast metal paired with layered hand-applied pigments also distinguishes period items from modern resin reproductions.

Position a pair symmetrically on a fireplace mantelpiece, console, or sideboard to create a focused visual balance. Pairing ornate sculpted figures against neutral backdrops allows their silhouette and historical detail to stand out.

Dust surfaces gently using a dry, soft-bristled brush or microfibre cloth to protect vulnerable painted areas from flaking. Avoid water, harsh chemical solvents, and abrasive metal cleansers, which can strip original pigments and alter the aged patina.
