A delightful pair of 19th century Meissen porcelain candlesticks, combining finely modeled figural groups with ornate dore bronze mounts. These decorative pieces exemplify the charm and craftsmanship associated with Meissen’s figural porcelain production.
Each candlestick features a hand-painted porcelain figure set within a naturalistic scene. One depicts a young woman feeding chickens, while the other shows a young boy tending to birds, both rendered in soft pastel tones with detailed facial expressions and period attire. The figures are surrounded by ground elements and animals, adding narrative and liveliness to the compositions.
The porcelain groups are mounted on elaborately cast gilt bronze bases with scrolling Rococo-style forms, providing both structural support and visual contrast. Rising from the center are decorative stems leading to candle cups, supported by foliate bronze elements that integrate seamlessly with the overall design.
The underside reveals a Meissen-style blue crossed swords mark, consistent with attribution to the renowned German manufactory.
These candlesticks serve as both functional lighting elements and collectible decorative sculptures, ideal for traditional interiors or porcelain collections.
