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.
