A tale etched since antiquity on the minds of artists, the story of Eros and Psyche is a narrative of love, separation, and reunion that transcends time and space.
The moving depiction of their tragic yet powerful romance is used to adorn a pair of bronze candle holders by the sculptor, infusing them with a quality beyond mere utility.
Classical legends tell us that the mother of Eros, Aphrodite was jealous of the ethereal beauty of Psyche and sent her son to exact revenge.
However, Eros, who used to pierce young hearts with arrows of passion and love, was himself struck by the charm of Psyche, falling in love with her.
Enraged at the transgression, Aphrodite made the young couple go through many tests, during one of which, Psyche opened a box she was forbidden by Aphrodite to look at, and as a result fell in a long slumber.
The icon here, depicts Eros flying with a sleeping Psyche, in his protective embrace, creating a dramatic visual embellishment for the candle holders. The flowing of the clothes and wings of Eros are so naturalistically depicted, that one can almost hear the fluttering sound, as Eros jumps with his beloved into the horizon. Inspired by the classic sculptures of Europe, this candle stand will light up a tale of timeless romance in your spaces!
