Pair of Cherub Candlesticks

This is a pair of candlesticks made by Derby around 1770. They are of a pair of cherubs - a lady one holding a flaming heart and the male holding a bow and arrow. They have a superbly modeled base and the boccage is top quality! Lots of nice detail and I took plenty of pictures. The male one is in great condition with just a little bit of chipping to the top leaves of the boccage and some flowers in the same area and his hair. The lady has a bit more damage with a large branch of the boccage missing on the right side as well as some of the scrolling of the base on that side. She also has a piece of her front base reglued and the candleholder has an old metal repair to the underside where it connects with the base. While they make a superb pair I am unsure if they always were because he has some puce in the decoration on the base that she does not but that might just be a painters preference. Either way a superb pair to display around the house! They are about 7 inches tall, 6.5 inches wide and 4.25 inches deep. Neither is marked underneath the base but that is the norm during this period! Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $1749
