Antique cast bronze figural candlestick modeled as a rearing winged griffin supporting a pierced Gothic-style candle socket on an oval base, European (likely Italian or French), late 19th to early 20th century. Warm bronze patina with honest verdigris and age. A dramatic, characterful candle holder in the Renaissance-Revival / Grand Tour taste — a handsome accent for a mantel, desk, or curio shelf, and a natural companion piece if a mate can be found.
The griffin/chimera motif, Gothic-pierced socket, cast oval base, and slotted-screw assembly are consistent with c. 1870–1920 European decorative bronze work (a popular Grand Tour / Renaissance-Revival form).
