Pair of candlestick angels.
17th century, probably southern France.
Bronze, minimal remains of gilding. H to head 25 cm each, total 28 and 29 cm respectively.
As approximately mirror-image counterparts fully sculptured standing figures of angels in moving contrapposto, each carrying a candle candle at the long stem with spread original wings. The tunics are chased in the style of brocade fabric with lilies and flowers; on the reverse side with slightly altered motif. The slender body has continuous holes in several places, some of which are closed and probably originate from the core holders of the casting process. In addition to saving material, the open areas on the backs probably have a similar function. The co-cast plinths each have a central drilled hole with threaded. 1 connection thumb / index finger broken, scratch / grind marks and minor nicks. At least the grommets, probably also their stems supplemented, screws mostly supplemented.
Provenance : Estate of Dr. Renate Müller-Krumbach.
