Venetian Candlesticks
(Italian, Venice, circa 1760)
A particularly beautiful pair of 18th-century Venetian candlesticks, retaining their original blue-painted decoration enriched with intricate gilding.
The combination of rich blue and delicate gold ornament is wonderfully characteristic of the decorative arts of Venice during this period.
As good as these get.
