Good overall condition with natural antique patina and slight signs of wear related to time, highlighting its age.
A patinated bronze candlestick from the late 19th century , adorned with a sculpted Chinese imperial dragon coiled around the stem. This finely crafted piece exemplifies the art of decorative Chinese bronze from the late Qing dynasty, with a striking contrast between the dark patina and the gilded highlights of the decoration.
The dragon, a symbol of power and protection in Chinese culture, is depicted here realistically, its claws and head in relief seeming to literally emerge from the metal. The slender shape of the candlestick, with its flared base, creates a beautiful vertical effect.
