Lot 306: A Pair of Carved Novelty Taper Candles and Metal Candelabra
Sold for: £3
A pair of novelty figural taper candles, featuring a distinctive hand-carved layered wax design. The candles exhibit a vibrant pink exterior surface, with white and cream swirled wax interiors revealed through elaborate symmetrical cut-outs along the length of each taper. They are presented in a pair of matching black wrought iron single-taper candelabra. Each holder is constructed with a circular sconce supported by a four-legged scroll-foot base and is embellished with hanging faceted clear drops.
Accompanying the candles is a rustic stoneware cottage-form candle holder, decorated with a textured thatched-style roof and small window apertures. The cottage is adorned with a red ribbon rose featuring gold-tone accents, a gold-tone chain with a clear faceted charm, and a small plastic tag bearing a green wreath motif. The lot is completed by an assortment of decorative items including a small terracotta-style plastic pot of artificial pink and white flowers, a white porcelain teacup and saucer bearing gold-tone trim and printed text including ‘Fortune’, ‘Health’, and ‘Wealth’, a glass bowl of dried botanical potpourri, a dark vase containing dried purple statice, and a small leopard-print soft figure.
