H:53cm W:25cm

A pair of German Rococo porcelain angel candelabra. Historically, they served as classic decorative ornaments for fireplaces and salons in European noble households, embodying the romantic and affluent aesthetic of the Rococo era. Each candelabrum features five candle holders: one central and four surrounding. The main sculptural group depicts two putti. The base is fully decorated with high-relief modelled flowers and gilded scrollwork. Entirely hand-applied modelled appliqu??, hand-painted low-fired enamel colours and gilded outlining, representative of German decorative porcelain craftsmanship. Produced by Aelteste Volkstedt, a long-renowned historic German porcelain manufactory. The pair is well preserved overall, with normal signs of age.
