Meissen Atelier Candlestick Sphinx

This exceptional candleholder, crafted from fine Meissen porcelain, masterfully combines classical symbolism, delicate hand-painting, and decorative elegance. The white-glazed body features a highly detailed relief, showcasing refined modeling and intricate ornamentation.

At the heart of the design is the figure of the Sphinx, which lends the piece its name. In art history, the sphinx-depicted with a lion's body and a human head-represents wisdom, mystery, and protection. Its presence imbues the object with a mythical aura, deeply rooted in both classical and European visual traditions.

The surface is adorned with a meticulously hand-painted floral motif in deep purple, accentuated with fine touches of shimmering gold. This rich interplay of color and metallic luster creates a look of noble sophistication, making the candleholder a true eye-catcher.

Measuring 22.5 cm in height, the piece serves as an elegant candleholder-ideal for adding a warm, atmospheric glow to dining tables or interiors. Whether displayed as a standalone object or part of a decorative arrangement, it brings refined lighting accents and reflects both cultural depth and masterful craftsmanship.
