This unique vintage figural candle is expertly molded into a detailed portrait bust of the famous Austrian composer, Johann Strauss II, complete with his signature mustache and formal evening wear. Standing 16.5 cm in total height, the sculpture is finished with a deep brown faux-bronze patina coat that gives it the heavy appearance of a classic desktop library casting. Featuring an unburnt wick emerging from the crown, this collectible composer statue was highly popular as a souvenir, musical novelty, or bookstore decorative accent during the mid-to-late 20th century. It stands on an integrated pedestal base with a raised "STRAUSS" nameplate along the front banner, serving as an excellent retro conversation piece for classical music enthusiasts, vinyl record rooms, or eclectic bookshelf displays.
