[ARTIFICIALIA]
Gilded bronze candlestick depicting a wading bird in the reeds, holding a snail with a conical shell in its beak
22 x 9.5 cm
This gilded bronze candlestick, adorned with an elegant wading bird motif, combines naturalistic fantasy with decorative refinement. Its slender, almost surreal silhouette evokes those unique objects one might discover in an antique cabinet of curiosities. In a chic Halloween setting, it adds a precious and mysterious touch, where the brilliance of the gold contrasts with a dark, theatrical and subtly enchanting atmosphere.
