A pair of Baroque turned-bronze candlesticks dating to circa 1800–1850, in good used condition with minor signs of age.
Description from the seller
Pair of Baroque candlesticks in turned bronze, 18th–19th century.
Magnificent pair of candelabra made of gilded bronze, dating from the late eighteenth to early nineteenth century, expertly embodying the exuberant and theatrical aesthetics of the late Baroque style. Each piece rises on a stepped circular base with delicate concentric rings, lending visual balance and structural solidity. The shaft, slender and richly turned, unfolds a sequence of bulbous forms, fluting, and undulating profiles that evoke the movement and opulence characteristic of the period.
The upper cup, bell-shaped, is designed to receive slim candles, and preserves a warm patina that enhances the nobility of the bronze and its lived-in history. The surface reflects light with elegance, creating plays of shine that accentuate its presence in any setting.
These pieces not only serve a decorative or luminous function: they are evidence of an era when ornamentation was a symbol of status and refinement. Ideal for dressing a console, a fireplace, or a coffee table, they add character and authenticity to classic, eclectic, or even contemporary interiors that value the dialogue between past and present.
An exceptional opportunity to acquire objects with soul, history, and sculptural beauty.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
