AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Exquisite French dessert service consisting of a candelabrum and a 'Feuille' tray in gilt bronze.
(c. 1940).
Elegant pair of decorative pieces that capture the aesthetic transition between the opulence of classical Rocaille and the organic elegance that preceded Mid-Century Modern.
Made up of a three-branch candelabrum, this is a masterpiece of bronze casting with an exceptionally well-preserved golden patina. It stands out for its architectural-style shaft and sinuous arms that evoke stylized botanical forms. The base, Baroque-inspired, features pierced work and reliefs of volutes that provide a masterful play of light and shadow when the candles are lit.
On the other hand, the 'Vide-Poche' tray in the shape of a leaf. It is a delicately crafted accessory that represents a vine leaf with astonishing realism. The veins are engraved with artisanal precision and the irregular edge elegantly imitates nature. The handle, subtly integrated as the leaf's stem, demonstrates the technical quality of French manufacturing of the period.
Candelabrum dimensions: 28 cm high, 26 cm wide, and 12 cm deep.
Tray dimensions: 15 cm wide, 14 cm deep, and 2 cm high.
It is a magnificent set designed to give any room in your home a touch of character, luxury, and elegance.
It is shipped with careful and secure packaging.
