{"product_id":"pair-of-neoclassical-candlesticks-17404","title":"Pair of Neoclassical Candlesticks, Silver-Tone Metal with Ram's Heads and Garlands, Fluted Urn Sconces, Warm Worn Finish","description":"\u003cp\u003eRams' heads, garlands and beading crowd onto a pair of candlesticks no taller than a drinking glass. Up close, every surface has something to find, and the silver has worn to a soft glow with warm metal showing through. They are small objects with a great deal of presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach candlestick has a fluted, urn-shaped candle cup trimmed with beading, set on a square, tapering pedestal. On each of the four sides of the pedestal, a ram's head is hung with a garland, and the whole stands on a stepped square base with a beaded edge. The ram's head hung with garlands comes from the altars of ancient Rome, where it recalled sacrifice. Eighteenth-century neoclassical designers revived it as pure ornament, and it became one of the signature motifs of the style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pair is in good vintage condition, with the silver-tone finish worn in places to show the warmer metal beneath. We have not replated them, because the worn silver is part of their character. On a mantelpiece or down the centre of a dining table with tall tapers, they give a room a classical note and a warm glow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverview: two silver-tone metal candlesticks with ram's heads, garlands and fluted urn cups, weighing about 1 kg (2.2 lb) together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: Height about 16 cm (6.3 in) each · Base width to follow — about the height of a tall drinking glass\u003cbr\u003e\nMaterial: silver-tone metal\u003cbr\u003e\nStyle-Period: neoclassical style\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight: about 1 kg (2.2 lb) for the pair\u003cbr\u003e\nShipping: professionally packed, fully insured, worldwide · we handle the paperwork and pay all import duties · nothing to settle on delivery\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition: good vintage condition; silver-tone finish worn in places\u003cbr\u003e\nReturns: accepted within 30 days\u003cbr\u003e\nSold as a pair\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Jaspers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59590090490201,"sku":"LM-V-466","price":721.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1063\/5388\/5529\/files\/il_fullxfull.8577528932_4ol6.jpg?v=1790423959","url":"https:\/\/maisonjaspers.com\/products\/pair-of-neoclassical-candlesticks-17404","provider":"Maison Jaspers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
