Description from the seller

Pair of Empire bronze patinated and gilded candlesticks – 4 lights (3+1) – claw feet – 19th century

Superb pair of Empire-style candlesticks, made of patinated bronze and finely gilded, dating from the 19th century.
These elegant pieces rest on a tripod base adorned with symbols of strength and prestige in imperial aesthetics. The fluted central column is richly decorated with classical motifs, while the scroll arms gracefully support three side lights complemented by a raised central light.
The bobeches with crown-shaped décor add a refined and majestic touch to the whole.
The piece shows a very beautiful original patina, with slight traces of time, testifying to its authenticity and age.
A high-quality decorative object, ideal for enhancing a classical, Haussmannian, or high-end contemporary interior.
