Vintage Bronze Hollywood Regency Cherub Candle Holder. Measures 9" in height. Good condition. There may be residual candle wax I couldn't remove.
This vintage Hollywood Regency candle holder is a striking example of mid-century glamour, featuring a beautifully cast cherub (or putti) in an aged bronze finish. Standing nine inches tall, the figure is rendered with classical European influence, exhibiting fine detail in the feathered wings and expressive features. The cherub gracefully supports a decorative bobeche, designed to hold a standard taper candle or a glass hurricane. The heavy, tiered base provides substantial stability, making it a reliable and stately addition to any tabletop.
With its rich patina and ornate silhouette, this piece serves as a premier "theatrical curiosity" for a library mantel or a moody, Dark Academia-inspired study. It evokes the opulence of old-world estates while fitting perfectly into a maximalist or traditional interior. The candle holder is in good vintage condition, retaining a deep, authentic luster. Please note there is some minor residual candle wax in the crevices of the decorative cup from previous use, which further emphasizes its history as a functional piece of home sanctuary decor. This is a soulful find for collectors of Hollywood Regency accents or those looking to add a touch of classical drama to their space.
This item is vintage, approximately 55 years old.
