AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Candelabrum in gilded bronze and porcelain with putti, French Louis XVI style.
This candelabrum exemplifies French Louis XVI style, characterized by neoclassical elegance and the refined use of gilt bronze (ormolu) combined with porcelain figures. This type of decorative object was popular among the nobility and the European upper middle class from the late 18th century into the 19th century, often produced by prestigious manufactories such as Sèvres. The putti (cherubs) and floral details reflect the romantic, theatrical aesthetics of the era.
These chandeliers are highly valued by collectors of French decorative art, by antique enthusiasts, and by interior designers seeking statement pieces for classic or eclectic spaces. Their value lies in the craftsmanship, in the combination of precious materials, and in the historic charm they evoke. They are particularly sought after in European and North American markets for their ability to add elegance and prestige to any collection or home environment.
