Pair of Bronze Candlesticks, 17th Century

A pair of 17th-century bronze candlesticks featuring architectural details. Each piece is crafted from heavy cast bronze and displays intricate floral and geometric motifs, including a raised cross enclosed in a circle on each leg. The stems are adorned with faceted, diamond-like central nodal decorations—likely inspired by ecclesiastical symbolism—and sit atop tripod bases terminating in stylized paw feet. The patina is consistent with age, giving the candlesticks a rich, timeworn character, while the overall condition remains structurally sound. These ceremonial candlesticks would have originally graced a church altar and now serve as striking decorative objects or collectors’ items, perfect for any serious collection of religious or Gothic revival antiques.
