Candlestick (2) - Silverplated - Three-armed candle holders

The subject of the auction is a pair of richly adorned, three-armed candelabras (candelabra) that constitute an excellent example of artistic craftsmanship. The light holders are characterized by a dynamic form and intricate details.

Product features:

Design: Classical construction with a central column and two S-shaped arms.

Ornamentation: Very rich floral motifs – numerous rosebuds, flowers, and acanthus leaves covering both the base, the shaft, and the candle sleeves themselves.

Shaft: Decorative, with variable cross-section, featuring a prominent medallion surrounded by garlands of flowers.

Base: Stable, wide, with an irregular, wavy edge and a repeated floral motif. Visible traces of silvering wear.

Condition and defects:

The items show signs of use and the passage of time, which give them an authentic character, but require the buyer's attention:

Arm deformations: Visible asymmetries in the bending of the candelabra arms. In some angles the arms appear slightly bent relative to the vertical axis (possible need for gentle adjustment).

Coating condition: Local wear of the silvering layer is visible (especially on the protruding ornamental parts), natural patina, and minor functional scratches. Micro-scratches caused by cleaning.

Contamination: In the recesses of the ornaments and inside the candle sleeves there are residues of old wax and deposits (professional cleaning required).

Summary:
Despite the listed defects, the candelabras present themselves very majestically. Thanks to the dense decorations, all imperfections vanish in the glow of reflected light, which makes them a beautiful decoration for a stylish table or fireplace.
