Presenting a beautiful, complementary pair of antique German tinted bisque porcelain figural candlesticks, dating to the late Victorian or Edwardian era (circa 1900–1910).

Each piece features a delicately modeled pastoral youth leaning against a rustic tree-trunk column that terminates in a stylized leaf-and-petal candle cup. The young girl wears a wide-brimmed bonnet, a flowing capelet, and holds a woven basket brimming with flowers. The matching young boy wears a coordinated straw hat, a tailored jacket with flipped cuffs, a loose neckerchief, and holds a corresponding basket of blossoms.

Both figures are finished in an exceptionally soft, unglazed pastel palette of muted pinks, creamy whites, sage greens, and soft straw tones. The bases are hollow-cast with an integrated structural arch and back vent holes, typical of early European porcelain manufacturing techniques. The undersides of both bases are cleanly inscribed with the uniform production mold code 7925 in a classic iron-red/burnt orange enamel script.
