Angel candlestick

This angel candlestick on a marble column base was inspired by 17th-century Italy. Its form and colouring could have been inspired by existing ceramic items. The round face of the angel has ruddy cheeks, while there are brown curls painted on its forehead. Angel candlesticks were always produced in pairs and formed part of serial domestic art in Gröden in the 18th and 19th centuries.
