PORCELAIN CANDLE HOLDERS. “MERMAN CHILDREN ON THE SEA”. AFTER MODELS FROM ANTIQUE EUROPEAN PORCELAIN.
Decoration - Porcelain
Reference: S4471
Pair of enamelled porcelain candlesticks. “Tritoncillos in the sea”. Inspired by antique European porcelain models. On a base made to resemble waves, with raised elements highlighted by gilded edges and decorated with flowers, there are two half-naked children. These two Tritoncillos each hold a bowl and behind them stands the candlestick, with its base decorated as if it were a palm tree. The pair of figures, with a marine theme, can be related to Neoclassical porcelain from the main European factories (they have many points in common with examples from the Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres in France). Weight: 3.1 kg.
