Pair of Vintage Chinoiserie Blue & White Porcelain Parrot Candlesticks
A striking pair of sculptural statements, epitomizing the whimsical elegance of classic grandmillennial and country house design.
As proudly featured on our main collection curation, this rare, facing pair of hand-painted porcelain parrot candlesticks brings immediate narrative, depth, and structural height to any vignette. Evoking the rich aesthetic of 19th-century French Chinoiserie revival wares, each majestic parrot is meticulously modeled from fine white porcelain and adorned with an intricate, stylized plumage pattern rendered in rich cobalt and indigo glazes.
The birds sit beautifully perched upon a detailed ceramic tree-trunk stump wrapped in delicate flowering vines, flowing seamlessly into heavily cast, ornate brass ormolu scroll bases. The crowning brass leaf-scroll candle cups provide a brilliant metallic warmth to frame standard taper candles, creating a spectacular display of light.
With their grand 36 cm stature, mirroring silhouettes, and exceptional craftsmanship, they serve as the perfect everyday glamour anchors for a formal dining table landscape, a balanced mantelpiece vignette, or dressing a signature entryway console.
