Lot Description
Item details:

Period: Second half of the 19th century (circa 1870–1880).

Description
Exceptional pair of French candelabras from the late 19th century, crafted in high-quality bronze with an elegant bichrome finish. These pieces stand out for their eclectic design, characteristic of the Napoleon III period, blending elements of Neoclassicism and Romanticism.
The central body presents an elegant urn-shaped form decorated with mythological mascarons (possibly representations of Bacchus or Silenus), flanked by volutes and floral details. The three-legged base is especially notable for its detailed casting, adorned with relief roses and rococo-style feet.
Each chandelier features four light points (three ornate curved arms and a central light), preserving an authentic patina that highlights the depth of the reliefs and the shine of the gold accents.
Condition status
Very solid and heavy pieces. They present a precious natural patina that attests to their age. No structural faults or visible repairs. The images are part of the description to assess the details and the quality of the casting.
Ideal for collectors of French bronzes or for high-end interior decoration.
