Antique Bronze-Style Cherub Candlestick – Tole Putto with Torch Lying on Laurel Branches

Antique Bronze-Style Cherub Candlestick – Tole Putto with Torch Lying on Laurel Branches

Bring a touch of classical romance to your décor with this charming antique candlestick, featuring a beautifully detailed cherub—or putto—holding aloft a torch-shaped candle holder lying on laurel branches.

The figure’s outstretched arms and windswept hair suggest movement, as if the cherub is descending from the heavens with a gift of light. Crafted with a warm bronze-style finish and mounted on a leafy base, this piece captures the elegance and whimsy of 19th- to early 20th-century decorative art.

Perfect as a stand-alone statement or part of a candlelit vignette, this cherub candlestick adds a timeless, European touch to mantels, sideboards, and vanity displays.
