Plaster (or resin) candlesticks (not antique)

These are not antique.
But I would like to know if they are copying a form that is antique because I think I have seen old wooden ones with the similar pyramid shaped and the kind of lumpy look.
Are these intending to reproduce anything?
I was told they are plaster but I think they might be resin. Have a sticker on the bottom that says hand painted. Just interested in finding out about the style (if indeed it is an antique style)

 

Would you post a photograph of the sticker please?

They're copying the style of Victorian carved mahogany pillars.

 

I'd consider them Neo-Classical on steroids. The proportions are modern as are the interpretations of Classical motifs -- egg-and-dart, acanthus leaf (seen here together on a composite pillar.)

They are based on the well known Pricket Altar candle stick. Originating in the Gothic era, they were made from the 12th century up until the 17th Century. They were then part of the Gothic revivial of the late 18th century and 19th century and were made in a Gothic baroque or rococo style. They became popular again in the 1920's and were made from spelter. They were made from different materials brass, metal, spelter, wood.

Here are some examples

That's Fransisco I thought I had seen that style before.
I got these for 60AUD and can easily sell them for the same or more on FB when I find some more like the ones in your photos.
Here I find on Facebook pretty much anything ornate tends to sell quite well. Stands out from all the modern stuff.
