Pair of Sultan Girandoles


Here is another set of girandoles, perfect for adding a highly decorative element and a bit of punch to almost any interior, including even the most modern.  Imagine these in a very clean space on a living room mantle or in a dining room.  This rare pair of prism-hung, three-arm candle holders are gilt-bronze.  Each figure is modeled after a Middle Eastern sultan in traditional garb with a turban on his head and his hand resting on an Aladin style lamp.  The bases are Danby marble.  19" h, 15 1/2" l., 4 1/2" w.  American, c. 1850 SOLD
