Vieux Paris Candlesticks

This is a rare pair of figural candlesticks made by Vieux Paris in about 1820. It is quite rare to find a pair of this quality and condition. There is a male version who has a sword by his side, a hunting horn in the front and a hat with a long feather. The female version has some keys and a spindle type thing. Both are holding an urn on their shoulders and my favorite part is that they have lids in the candleholders that look like flower arrangements. They are in surprisingly good condition as French gilding wears quite easily. Very little wear to that, there are a few chips to the flowers on the lids but they are not distracting, he has a very good restoration to a small part of his candleholder and she has the bottom of her sash broken off. None of these issues are very apparent and definitely do not take away from them. The figurines are not marked underneath but that is the norm for this maker. They are 13 inches tall and the base diameter is about 5 inches. Please email me for more information or other pictures.
