Description from the seller

An elegant and distinguished pair of 4‑light candelabra by the renowned French silversmith Christofle, model “Cluny”.

This iconic design, inspired by 18th‑century French classicism, is one of Christofle’s most recognisable and timeless creations.

Each candelabrum features a tall, baluster‑shaped column and three gracefully curved arms forming four candle holders in total. With their refined proportions and a height of approx. 43 cm, the pair creates an impressive and harmonious table presence.

Both pieces carry the authentic Christofle hallmarks:
- CHRISTOFLE maker’s mark
- OC (Orfèvrerie Christofle) in an oval punch
- Silver‑plating quality marks “8” and “11”
- Serial numbers stamped on the central stem

The candelabra are finely made in métal argenté (Christofle silver‑plate), known for its durability, weight and classic warm shine.

Condition: Good, well‑preserved vintage condition.
- Light wear consistent with age
- In several areas, subtle golden tones are visible on the cups and branches — typical for vintage Christofle, caused by natural ageing of the protective lacquer or underlying copper alloy
- No dents, no structural damage
- Stable and solid bases
- Silver‑plating retains a bright and elegant lustre

Please examine the photographs carefully.

Dimensions:
- Height: approx. 43 cm
- Width: approx. 32 cm
- Base diameter: approx. 14.5 cm
- Weight - 1,75 kg


Highlights:
- Authentic Christofle, fully hallmarked
- Rare 4‑light “Cluny” model
- Elegant classical design
- Impressive 43 cm height
- A refined decorative piece and a collectible object
