Pair of Antique Chinoiserie Japanned Candlesticks Circa 1820–1860

A beautiful pair of antique turned wooden candlesticks with their original Chinoiserie japanned decoration. Finished in rich black with warm ochre, gilt, and red hand-painted accents, they feature scenic and floral motifs inspired by the European fascination with East Asian decorative arts during the 19th century.

The candlesticks retain their original brass candle cups and are constructed with traditional hand-threaded wooden screw fittings, allowing the stems to be removed from the bases—a hallmark of early craftsmanship. Their beautifully worn surface and aged patina reflect generations of use and enhance their authenticity.
