Found this link: https://www.pinterest.ru/pin/522769469227291330/ with a pair of them (they often come in pairs) going for $4900.
If yours is from that set I'd say the one would go for $1500-2000 retail.
EDIT: Not sure if yours is real or repro though. The colors don't seem to match.
EDIT 2: You actually seem to have 1 from THIS pair: https://www.icollector.com/A-pair-of-19th-century-French-ormolu-candlesticks-modelled-with-cherubs-holding-cornucopia-of-gra_i996380 -
They were on auction with an appraisal of $322-387 for the pair, but were NOT sold.

Yes, the colors do not match with your first link. I have a pair, they are both sitting on an alligator. The reason i was thinking they are worth more is that they look like gilt bronze, and old. they were in the late morrocan king's palace years ago. Thank you for your feedback.

Pretty sure you have the pair in my second link... If you have any provenance to verify the story about kings and palaces, that might drive the price up.
