Porcelain candlestick holders titled 'Amorini Di Pompei' by Gianni Benvenuti for Franklin Mint

These porcelain candlestick holders were created in 1987 by Italian sculptor Gianni Benvenuti for the Franklin Mint. The design was inspired by the cherubic figures (amorini) found in ancient Pompeii frescoes, reimagined as three-dimensional decorative art pieces. These collectible candlesticks appeal to enthusiasts of neoclassical decorative arts and Franklin Mint collectors. The delicate white porcelain cherubs playing musical instruments represent a romanticized vision of antiquity that was particularly popular in late 20th century home decor. Collectors of limited edition porcelain figurines and those interested in classical-inspired decorative arts value these pieces for their craftsmanship and nostalgic appeal.
