Old bronze mouse candlestick

A small vintage bronze candlestick full of humor, featuring a mouse standing on its hind legs holding the socket and the drip pan. Its long tail wraps around the ground to form the base of the candlestick and ensure its stability. Above its head, the drip pan collects the wax, while the socket, shaped like a small tulip, holds a thin candle. The bronze has a beautiful dark patina with greenish reflections, which enhances the relief of the details. This old candlestick will add a touch of mischief to a bedside table, a fireplace, or a shelf, and also makes a lovely original gift. Overall good condition with a patina of use, some green oxidation in places, and a few wax drips that are easy to remove.
