Pair of silver candlesticks Tower 1751

Beautiful and elegant pair of 18th century Genoese embossed silver candlesticks punched with the "Torretta" mark and dated (1) 751. The large circular base with contoured contours is decorated with acanthus leaves, three larger and three smaller alternating and connected by ribs. The band of the foot is decorated with molded edge In the center of acanthus leaves stands the stem, with a triangular section, also decorated with leather motifs (also on the candle holder). The model used for these two examples is very similar to a pair of candlesticks published in the Argenterie genovesi catalog, Tav. 184, G. Morazzoni, Mila
