Description from the seller

This elegant pair of 19th-century candelabras is made of gilded metal, probably bronze, and features rich ornamentation inspired by Rococo / Louis XVI style. Each piece stands on a square base with decorative feet, and at the bottom a relief medallion depicting a profile of a female figure is highlighted, framed by garlands and classical motifs that evoke the French neoclassical aesthetic.

The shafts are adorned with acanthus reliefs, ribbons, and architectural elements that reflect the refined and symmetrical taste characteristic of Louis XVI's reign. Although they are missing the upper part—probably the candle-holder arms or caps—and one of them needs to be straightened, the set retains its original structure and much of its decorative appeal.

These pieces were conceived to beautify aristocratic or bourgeois interiors, and today they retain their value as collectible objects, both for their artistic quality and for their fidelity to the ornamental language of the eighteenth century reinterpreted in the nineteenth. Restoration would be straightforward and would fully restore their function and splendor.

Certified shipping and careful packaging.
