A pair of iron candlesticks from the Royal Prussian Iron Foundry in Berlin circa 1815
After a design by Karl Friedrich Schinkel.
Each candlestick is centered by a standing Dionysos, draped in a ram’s skin and holding bunches of grapes and standing on a rectangular base decorated with leaves and beads. The candle holders appear in various versions, in this case they take the form of a lotus flower.
