Why You’ll Love It
This is an exquisite pair of Louis XV style candelabras by acclaimed Spanish IGMA artisan David Iriarte. Cast in finely detailed bronze with gold vermeil and set upon elegant green marble bases, each candelabra features a richly ornamented figural shaft in the form of a cherub-like putti with a flowing mermaid tail, delicately posed and playing a musical instrument. The figures face in opposite directions, creating a balanced pair when displayed together. Ornate scrollwork and acanthus leaf details frame the candle arms. Perfectly suited for a formal salon or grand dining room.

A Note About Value
Every miniature we offer has been carefully evaluated for its craftsmanship, rarity, condition, provenance, and collectibility. Many of the artisan pieces we sell are one-of-a-kind works that may never appear on the market again. While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.
Our pricing reflects the miniature's place within today's collector market and the years we've spent studying the artists, histories, and values that make these tiny works of art so special.
A Commitment to Research
Every miniature has a story, and uncovering it is one of our greatest passions. We carefully research each piece, but unsigned or illegible works can remain mysteries. If you can identify an artist or provide additional information, we'd be delighted to hear from you and will gladly update the listing to preserve their legacy.
