AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Pair of Art Nouveau candelabra in silver-plated bronze, first half of the 20th century.

Elegant set of two candelabra of different heights made of silver-plated bronze, dating from the first half of the 20th century and clearly influenced by the Art Nouveau style. Each piece features a broad, stable base that rises into a slender shaft, richly decorated with stylized vegetal motifs — leaves, flowers, and scrolls — that serpentine with organic fluidity along the surface, evoking the naturalist aesthetic characteristic of the movement.

The repoussé and engraving work reveals a high-quality artisanal execution, with meticulous details that add dynamism and depth to the design. The difference in heights suggests a harmonious decorative intent, possibly designed to flank a centerpiece or integrate into a symmetrical composition on a console or fireplace.

The smooth patina and natural wear of the silver plating enhance its authenticity and add character, without compromising structural integrity or ornamental readability. These pieces combine functionality and aesthetic value, making them ideal for both collectors and interiors seeking historic accents with elegance.

Certified shipping and good packaging.
