Pareja de candeleros de cloisonné, dinastía Qing, periodo Qianglong
Pair of bronze candlesticks decorated with cloisonné enamel. They have a bell-shaped base, which rises to a flat, rounded bulb that holds a large circular tray designed for dripping wax. Above this is an elongated tubular center crowned by a smaller bulb and a small circular tray, on which is placed an elongated tip in which the candle is inserted later.
The surface is profusely decorated with scrolls of leaves from which beautiful lotuses in bloom are born, on an intense turquoise background. The golden edges are interspersed with decorative borders of small ruyis and chiseled square scrolls.
