Cast from solid bronze, these are exact reproductions of candlesticks which graced the private collection of a 19th-century nobleman from Novgorod, Russia. The originals vanished during the Revolution that followed. The artist painstakingly recreated these shining museum-quality ritzari (knights) using several old sketches and photographs. Lavishly detailed – from the eagle-talon feet to the coat of arms and knotted tree trunk candle holder. A closer look reveals the more subtle elements, like the folds in the knight's trousers, the rivets in his armor and his plumed lion helmet. We have just a few and they're sure to go in less than a fortnight. Each is 17"e; tall and a hefty 10½ lbs.
