Vintage Putti Candlestick Holders, Pair
This pair of vintage putti candlestick holders features sculpted cherub figures resting on cylindrical pedestal bases. Crafted from cast plaster and gesso with hand-painted gold and warm cream finishes, each piece displays detailed floral garland swags draped along the column base. The top socket of each figure is designed to hold a standard taper candle.
Background Note
Figure-supported candlesticks featuring cherubs or putti draw inspiration from European Baroque and Rococo decorative arts, where winged classical figures were commonly integrated into interior furnishings and lighting designs. Mid-20th-century classical revival decor widely embraced cast gesso and plaster construction to reproduce the ornate look of hand-carved European antiques.
