    Description

    This rare and remarkable pair of candlesticks, dating from the 19th century, comes from the private collection of a historic Burgundy château.
    Each candlestick features a highly original animal composition with exceptionally fine carving:

    A graceful heron, a symbol of patience and vision,

    rests on a turtle, an allegory of quiet strength and longevity,

    while a snake coils around its neck, the embodiment of vigilance and metamorphosis.

    This decorative work combines the beauty of gilt bronze with the brilliance of silver-plated metal, creating an elegant and refined contrast. The high-quality antique patina underlines the authentic and prestigious character of this set.
