Antique French Chinoiserie Painted Candlesticks – Pair
A beautiful pair of antique French Chinoiserie candlesticks featuring turned wooden stems with a richly aged black and ochre painted finish. Subtle hand-painted figural and landscape details reflect the European fascination with Eastern decorative motifs popular in the 18th and early 19th centuries.
The wide bases, elegant proportions, and layered surface patina suggest French origin, dating to the late 18th to early 19th century (circa 1780–1820).
Charming paint wear, age-related craquelure, and surface distressing are consistent with period pieces and enhance their authenticity.
These make a dramatic and sophisticated statement on a mantel, dining table, or layered into a collected European interior.
