KIT 12th scale 18th century unfinished Putti Candelabras

These designs are possible the most iconic 18th century French candelabras. The lovely Putti sits on an ornate column holding a branch that transforms to a 7 armed candelabra. 

These are not electrified

I think that the small models would look wonderful on a small console table or side table but if you want to make more of a statement then the larger ones certainly will do do that. 

 

I have photographed some of the models with fake plastic candles. They are simple to make should you wish to purchase the additional candle making rod

Cut to length 19mm for the larger candles and 13mm for the small candles. 

Cut one end (the base) so it is slightly tapered and the other end with a flat edge. Stand them upright in some clay or plasticine and dot the tops with some superglue...you can drizzle it down the side if you want a dripped effect. Cut a small piece of black cotton and using tweezers place standing upright on top of the candle. Using superglue activator spray the glue for instant setting. Cut off excess cotton to leave a small black wick.

You can also make your own candles using sculpy (polymer clay). Candles from the 18th century were very unusual in that most were a little bit wonky and very tapered unlike modern candles. This was because the process of manufacture was dipping creating an ununiform shape. Google 18th century candles and you will see what I mean.

 

The main body is made from Pewter Alloy and is highly detailed.

 

Size:

Small candelabra:  Height 51mm x 32mm at its widest part

Tips

Use superglue and activator
