Sculpture "Candlesticks from Lancere (color.)"

Embrace the historical charm and exquisite craftsmanship of the Lancere Model 1875 Candlestick Pair - 'Ice Cream Man' and 'Fish Seller'. Crafted by the extraordinary self-taught artist, Evgeny Alexandrovich Lancer (1848-1886), these resplendent sculptural images offer an eye-catching decorative effect, adding an air of sophistication to any room they grace.

Originating from a French family, Lancere planted his roots in Russia, honing his skills independently in the thriving art communities of St. Petersburg. Despite a lack of systematic art education, Lancere demonstrated remarkable talent in modeling, frequenting the workshops of renowned sculptors and deriving his inspiration from life itself - truly personifying the spirit of a self-made artist.

The artist's journeys to Paris in 1867 and 1876 further elevated his prowess, introducing him to the world of artistic bronze casting and a myriad of revered works in prestigious museums. This experience influenced his pieces, affording them a blend of Russian and French artistic sensibilities.

The 'Ice Cream Man' and 'Fish Seller' candlestick figures have been masterfully poured by Stange, one of the leading foundries of the 19th century present in St. Petersburg. The visually stunning figurines stand out for their vivid coloring, lending them a resplendent, decorative quality that belies their practical purpose. Weighing aptly for stability and fashioned meticulously to the specified dimensions, these museum-worthy candlesticks are sure to be a topic of conversation in your home or office. Sold as a pair, the sculptures are priced accordingly.

Culture pervades through every sharp detail and smooth curve, making the Lancere Model 1875 candlestick sculptures an extraordinary asset to any collectible assortment or as a standalone centerpiece to welcome guests with a taste of history.
