Pair of Victorian Bronze Candlesticks Modelled as Carolean Cavalier Figures, C.1850–1870

19th century
Description

A striking pair of Victorian bronze candlesticks modelled as standing Carolean cavalier figures, each depicted in mid-17th-century dress with plumed hat, cloak and knee-length breeches. The figures stand in contrapposto, holding tall torch-form candlesticks surmounted by square nozzles with drip pans.

Finely cast with good attention to detail, including expressive facial features, crisply modelled costume folds and weaponry at the waist. Each figure is raised on a circular stepped base. The bronzes display an attractive deep brown patination, with lighter highlights to the faces and legs adding depth and warmth.

A decorative and sculptural pair, reflecting the Victorian fascination with historical and romanticised Carolean subjects.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

These are decorative metal candle holders produced during the nineteenth-century Victorian period, incorporating figures dressed in the seventeenth-century Royalist attire of the Carolean era.

Victorian figural bronzes were typically cast using sand-casting or lost-wax techniques, followed by hand-chasing of fine details and chemical patination to produce a uniform dark brown finish.

Authentic pieces feature substantial weight, crisp hand-tooled detail, visible internal rod construction, and natural wear to the patination where handled over time.

Arrange them symmetrically on a fireplace mantelpiece, sideboard, or desk to provide historical interest and visual balance within traditional or dark academia decor.

Dust gently with a soft cloth and apply a thin layer of microcrystalline wax annually to protect the patinated bronze from humidity and oxidisation, avoiding chemical polishes.
