Carved from the hard shell of the coquilla nut, this miniature pair of candlesticks shows astonishing skill on a tiny scale. Each crown-shaped cup is pierced with lace-like openings and ringed with a band of round beads, set on a slender dark stem above a domed base carved with circles and fish-scale patterns. At just 10 cm tall, they are the kind of piece that draws people in for a closer look.
On a shelf, in a cabinet or on a desk, they bring a touch of old-world curiosity to any room.
