Antique Style Bronze Winged Cherub Candle Holder – Serpentine Base on Marble Stand
This bronze winged cherub figurine candle holder is a unique decorative piece with classical and mythical overtones. Cast in dark bronze patina, the figure features a cherubic child with finely detailed wings, holding a candle cup aloft. Unlike traditional cherubs, this figure incorporates an unusual serpentine or dragon-like tail, blending angelic and mythological elements into a single form.
The figurine is mounted on a polished black marble base, adding weight and elegance to the piece. The detailed facial expression, musculature, and textured serpent tail suggest fine casting, typical of 19th to early 20th-century Grand Tour style bronzes, though this example may be a mid-20th century reproduction or decorative adaptation.
