Pair of Spanish 17th-century carved wooden angel candlesticks

Pair of Spanish Baroque angel candlesticks, circa 1690

This enchanting pair of Spanish Baroque candlesticks in carved wood dates from the late 17th century, around 1690. Each winged angel stands on a plinth as a sculptural light-bearer, holding a candle holder. The richly aged polychromy reflects the long Spanish tradition of painted religious wood sculpture: carving, a ground layer of gesso and skilled painting.

Why we chose this piece

Pairs of figurative angel candlesticks are far rarer than single examples, as they were often separated over the centuries. They were designed to stand symmetrically left and right – which makes a complete pair like this all the more special.

Style and interior

An impressive duo on a mantelpiece, console table or sideboard, in a classic, Baroque or a sober wabi-sabi interior where the weathered colours take centre stage.
