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

A parrot holding a candle cup in its beak as if it were a flower.

He perches on a stump overgrown with leaves, flowers and fruit, and the branch in his beak ends in a tulip-shaped socket with a scalloped drip pan. This version faces right; paired with its left-facing twin it frames a mantelpiece, a dining table or a sideboard.

Craftsmanship

Every feather is shaped individually, while the dark olive patina, lightened on the raised areas, lets candlelight pick out the texture. A stepped round base of black marble keeps it steady.

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.
