An impressive pair of 18th-century English carved giltwood torchères or pedestal stands, designed in the bold Palladian manner associated with the celebrated architect and designer William Kent.
Of exceptional scale, each torchère stands approximately 60 inches high and is surmounted by a circular platform above a richly carved architectural stem incorporating classical female terms, scrolling acanthus foliage, geometric ornament and deeply carved decorative details.
English, 18th century, in the manner of William Kent.
