Description from the seller

Pair of gilded bronze candelabra, 20th century - Louis XV / Napoléon III style. Important pair of five-light candelabra in gilded bronze, richly decorated with foliate motifs and beaded friezes, reflecting the Louis XV style, typical of decorative productions of the 20th century, late Napoléon III period.

Each candelabrum rests on a circular base adorned with acanthus leaves, topped by a molded central stem, bearing four scrolling arms and a central light.
The quality of the casting is notable, with very sharp details and a nice thickness of material.
An antique patina with natural oxidation is visible under the base, confirming bronze fabrication.

Overall good condition, signs of wear and old oxidation under the base, stable structure, arms well aligned, no visible deformations, see photos as they are part of the description.
