A SPECTACULAR, PAIR of Hand Carved Venetian Style Blackamoors, Circa 1945 to 1960, Made in Paris France, but wired to American Electrical Specifications. In true Rococo, Louis XV style. A True Pair, Left and Right Facing, each holding atop their heads a 9 light candelabra. Beautiful "as is", or can be drilled to hold crystal prisms like a chandelier, for that "over the top" look! Their elegant pose, Regal profile and expressive faces are nothing less than Visual Poetry! A Pair of very similar, if not identical, design was presented to Madame de Pompadour in 1765 by the Venetian Ambassador to the Court of Louis XV, and were used at her home 'Bellvue'. Carved of wood and finished to resemble Ebony with polychromed detailed Clothing and standing on gilded bases of rock-work on pedestals.
