Pair of Decorative Antique Torchières in Original Green Paint

Pair of Decorative Antique Torchières in Original Green Paint Probably Anglo-Indian late 19th/Early 20th Century Fabulously decorative - a bold visual statement with uniquely characterful charm Striking design featuring pineapple-inspired carvings, symbolic of hospitality and abundance Provenance: from the estate of the late Screaming Lord Sutch, founder of the Official Monster Raving Loony Party Beautifully aged - original green paint with a richly developed patina Good antique condition throughout Stand upright and stable - solid and ready for use Tops show age-related cracks but remain strong and capable of supporting substantial decorative objects H: 112cm (44.1") | W: 35cm (13.8") | D: 35cm (13.8") A pair of torchières that command attention and spark conversation - these striking stands, most likely Anglo-Indian from the late 19th to early 20th century, are a celebration of bold design and storied provenance. Their original green paint has mellowed into a rich patina, and the carved pineapple motifs lend a touch of exotic symbolism, traditionally associated with hospitality and abundance. Once part of the estate of the late Screaming Lord Sutch - musician, provocateur, and founder of the Official Monster Raving Loony Party - these pieces carry a legacy as colourful as their finish. Whether flanking a fireplace, anchoring a hallway, or elevating a grand planter, they offer both visual drama and structural integrity. The tops show age-related cracks but remain strong and stable, ready to support substantial decorative objects. A rare blend of eccentric charm and antique craftsmanship, these torchères are perfect for interiors that embrace character, history, and a dash of irreverence.
