Royal Bouquet Imperial Candlesticks in 18K Gold, Agate, Diamonds- Konforti

This pair of “Royal Bouquet” Imperial candlesticks is offered as an individual commission from the Royal Bouquet monumental garniture and may be acquired independently or together with the complete set. Each pair is entirely handcrafted and created exclusively for the client, embodying the highest level of contemporary atelier craftsmanship rooted in the great traditions of Imperial European decorative arts.
Estimated production lead time is approximately 5-6 months from order confirmation.

Masterfully handcrafted from 18 karat yellow gold with 960 silver beneath the hot enamel elements, each candlestick is conceived as a dual-purpose sculptural object designed to accommodate both a traditional candle and a floral bouquet presentation. The upper vessel is proportioned to hold a candle securely while also functioning as a decorative receptacle for carved agate floral arrangements, allowing the piece to transition seamlessly between illuminated and ornamental display.

Each candlestick measures approximately 35 cm (13.78 in) in height and is enriched with hand-carved red agate, vibrant hot enamel, and finely executed openwork gold ornamentation. The central vase section is enveloped in an intricate openwork gold vine lattice set with emeralds, creating an organic botanical composition. Carved red agate leaves throughout the design are set with blue topaz, producing a vivid interplay of color against the warm brilliance of polished 18K gold. The base is set with richly toned red carnelian gemstones, providing a striking contrast to the gold structure while echoing the deep red agate tones present throughout the composition.

The bouquet elements are meticulously hand-carved from agates and white jade, with each individual flower set with a sapphire, forming a refined chromatic arrangement. Some of the leaves within the bouquet are hand-carved from green jade, introducing additional tonal depth and sculptural richness. The green flowers incorporated into the stems feature interiors set with diamonds, adding subtle brilliance within the floral composition.

A delicately sculpted butterfly rendered in vitreous hot enamel forms an important decorative element within the design, introducing transparency and refined color. Translucent hot enamel across the ornamental surfaces enhances depth and tonal variation, creating a layered interplay of color, light, and reflection characteristic of the Royal Bouquet collection.

This listing is for a pair of Royal Bouquet candlesticks available separately from the full garniture. They may be purchased as a standalone pair or commissioned together with the complete Royal Bouquet set to create a unified monumental arrangement. An optional matching tray may be commissioned to accompany the candlestick duo. The listed price reflects the pair of candlesticks. The coordinating tray shown in certain images is available separately upon request.
Additionally to the finished set, the client will receive a complementary signed original design sketch prepared by the atelier and presented as part of the artistic process and provenance of the commission.

We also create bespoke works on demand, transforming each client’s vision into a one-of-a-kind collectible. From the initial concept and hand-drawn sketches to the final sculptural masterpiece, every stage is guided by precision, artistry, and close collaboration, resulting in objects that are both deeply personal and artistically significant.

Each piece is created within the Konforti family atelier, a multi-generational workshop led by Inga and Barak Konforti, and founded by master artists Ella and Yuri Bogoslavsky. Every work is entirely handcrafted using traditional techniques, sculptural metalwork, and meticulous stone setting, continuing a shared artistic legacy shaped across generations.
