Doccia Candlestick #2

This is a second superb figural candlestick made by Doccia in about 1765. It is called autumn and there would have been four of these making up the four seasons. I happen to have a second one of this model so you could make that a neat pair :) The piece is modeled as a male figure holding up a horn of plenty looking item in his left hand which has the candleholder on top of it. He has a little faun by his right side which is holding grapes in his right hand. The base is nicely shaped with some really bright colors on it typical of Doccia. The piece displays superbly but the entire caneleholder top part and drip tray is either totally restored and heavily overpainted or a replacement. Not sure which one. Otherwise it is in great shape with a few tiny chips to the bottom edge which don't bother me and are hard to see. The piece is marked underneath with the underglaze blue N under a crown mark be it very faint and hard to see. The piece is 11.125 inches tall, 4.25 inches wide and 4.25 inches deep. Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $1999
