This pair of Venetian style cast brass candlestick figures depicts standing warriors wearing turbans with loops and patterned tunics. The dark brown patinated brass construction displays elaborate surface carving and moulding across their garments and scalloped bases, complemented by fluted candle nozzles held in one hand while the other arm raises in greeting. Each figure stands 40 cm high, 20 cm wide, and 13 cm deep, presenting a substantial tabletop display suited for placement on a mantelpiece. The period pieces date from around 1900 and exhibit consistent signs of age through their patination. Position these unusual figural candlesticks on a prominent surface in a living room, dining room, or hallway to add sculptural presence to an interior scheme. The dark metal finish integrates easily with diverse wood tones and interior palettes, serving both decorative and functional purposes. Each statue rests securely on its detailed base, bringing traditional craftsmanship and maximalist character into contemporary domestic spaces.

Venetian style figural candlesticks typically depict stylized figures in elaborate attire, inspired by Renaissance and Baroque Italian metalwork. These decorative items combine sculptural art with functional candle holders, frequently featuring ornate draping, detailed headwear, and structured bases.

Historical examples were produced using the lost-wax or sand-casting method, pouring molten brass or bronze into detailed moulds. Once cooled, artisans hand-chased and filed the surface to sharpen garment patterns and facial details before applying an oxidized chemical patina.

Authentic period pieces display distinct hand-finishing, such as subtle variations between pair figures, hand-turned threadings, and natural wear to the high points of the patina. Heavy weight, seam lines from two-part moulds, and oxidation inside hollow cast areas also indicate traditional casting techniques.

These sculptural objects serve as prominent accents on a fireplace mantelpiece, dining table centre, or dark wood sideboard. They contrast effectively against minimalist backdrops or integrate seamlessly into maximalist schemes alongside framed artwork and ceramics.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth to prevent grit accumulation. Abrasive polishes and chemical cleaners must be avoided, as they strip the original dark surface patina; a light application of microcrystalline wax can be buffed on to protect the metal.
