Spectacular candlestick in patinated bronze, finely crafted in the form of a fantastic hybrid creature, half-dragon, half-quadruped. The scaly, elongated, and muscular body forms the base of the light; the curved tail serves as a circular handle, while the monstrous head, raised upwards, supports the decorated socket.
The modeling of the scales, the vigor of the legs, and the fierce expression of the head reflect the Neo-Gothic and Romantic taste of the 19th century, fond of medieval and mythological evocations. This type of decorative object, both utilitarian and ornamental, illustrates the historicist revival of the period.
