Description from the seller

A pair of antique candlesticks in gilded bronze, richly decorated, each supported by three lion's paw feet.
The candlesticks are very old and original, with original screws underneath.
The candlesticks are typical of the Imperial period, decorated with fluted shafts and finished with relief acanthus leaves at the base and summit.
Therefore, I rely on scratched feet and a delicately carved frame, characteristic of the refinement of the historical period.
They reflect the luxury and splendor of Napoleon's wealth.
Close up, dents can be seen on the raised smooth columns, showing signs of aging.
Wonderful, congratulations to the winner of this auction.
