Pair of Louis XV Style Candleholders – Gilt Bronze / Brass with Onyx Base – France – Mid 20th Century A beautiful and decorative pair of elegant Louis XV style candleholders, crafted in richly detailed gilt bronze / brass and resting on warm-toned onyx marble bases. These candleholders are inspired by the refined Rococo aesthetic of the 18th century, characterized by flowing curves, acanthus motifs and naturalistic ornamentation. The sculptural arms rise gracefully in scrolling rocaille forms, ending in finely decorated candle cups placed on stylized leaf platforms. The intricate casting highlights the craftsmanship typical of French decorative objects inspired by the Louis XV period, while the polished onyx bases add warmth, weight and luxury. Pieces like these were often used as mantel or console decorations, bringing a sense of classical French elegance to interiors. Their symmetrical design makes them perfect for a fireplace mantel, dining table, or as decorative accents in a refined interior. The contrast between the golden patinated metal and the natural veining of the onyx creates a sophisticated and timeless look. Condition: Good vintage condition with light signs of age and patina consistent with use. Minor wear and oxidation visible, which adds to the authentic antique character. Dimensions (approx.): Height: 18 cm Width: 16 cm Base diameter: 10 cm Materials: Gilt bronze / brass Onyx marble base Origin: France Period: Mid-20th century Style: Louis XV / Rococo Revival A charming decorative pair of French candlesticks, ideal for collectors of Louis XV, Rococo, French classical décor, and antique mantel ornaments. Shipping: Securely packaged with track and trace and insurance. Note to US residents: due to extra processing costs of 150 euro plus the increase of tax tariffs on top of the shipping costs, Beau Brocante unfortunately had to raise the shipping costs to cover this. I am really sorry to all my much appreciated US customers. Since this is an auction platform, it's impossible to predict the outcome of the auction and we have to ensure covering costs.
