Antique Bronze Skeleton Figurines with Candlesticks - Decorative Art Objects #1928566 (License: Personal Use)

These 19th-century French bronze figurines depict two anatomically detailed skeletons in upright poses, each standing on an intricately carved, multi-tiered pedestal featuring neoclassical motifs. One skeleton holds a lotus-shaped candlestick and a long-handled scythe; the other grips a similar candlestick and a spade, symbolizing mortality and labor. The polished patina and expressive postures suggest they were intended as macabre yet refined decorative pieces for libraries, studies, or curiosity cabinets.
