Pair of 18th-century Sicilian Louis XVI church torches in original condition, never restored, with substantial signs of use and age, probably used in a church or private chapel. The torch holders would have been used to hold candles or torches during ceremonies or religious services. They are made of wood and silver-plated metal and feature carvings and details in the Louis XVI style, popular in the late 18th century, with the silver-plated metal giving them a luxurious and ornate appearance. Torches were used to hold candles or other light sources and gave an elegant and sophisticated atmosphere to the spaces in which they were used. It is likely that they were also used as a decorative element, given their intricate design and high-quality materials. All in all, they are a beautiful example of 18th century religious art and craftsmanship and would make a wonderful addition to any collection of antique furniture.
