A pair of torchičres that command attention and spark conversation - these striking stands, most likely Anglo-Indian from the late 19th to early 20th century, are a celebration of bold design and storied provenance. Their original green paint has mellowe
...d into a rich patina, and the carved pineapple motifs lend a touch of exotic symbolism, traditionally associated with hospitality and abundance.
Once part of the estate of the late Screaming Lord Sutch - musician, provocateur, and founder of the Official Monster Raving Loony Party - these pieces carry a legacy as colourful as their finish. Whether flanking a fireplace, anchoring a hallway, or elevating a grand planter, they offer both visual drama and structural integrity. The tops show age-related cracks but remain strong and stable, ready to support substantial decorative objects.
A rare blend of eccentric charm and antique craftsmanship, these torchčres are perfect for interiors that embrace character, history, and a dash of irreverence.
