Bronze Candle Holder “Parrot” on Black Marble - Facing Left - H. 31 cm

The left-facing counterpart of the parrot candlestick, made for symmetry.

A parrot perches on a richly overgrown stump, holding a branch that rises above its head and carries a candle socket with a scalloped drip pan. With the right-facing version it forms a mirrored pair, ideal on either side of a mantel clock, a mirror or a centrepiece.

At a glance

• Material: Bronze, marble
• Colour: Olive / black
• Dimensions (W x D x H): 11,8 x 11,8 x 31 cm
• Weight: 2,4 kg
• Finish: Lost-wax cast, hand-chased and patinated

Craftsmanship

Leaves, fruit and plumage are finely detailed, with the dark olive patina lightened on the highest points. Beneath it sits a stepped circular plinth of black marble, and the socket takes a standard dinner candle.

Care

A soft brush is enough for dusting; metal cleaners would harm the patina. Let wax drips cool, lift them with a wooden spatula, and never leave a lit candle unattended.
