Candleholder both 8.4 kg. (2) - Gilt bronze - Castle Candlestick

An impressive pair of monumental five-light candelabras (girandoles) in rich French Baroque/Regence style.
As can be seen from the overview, these stately candelabras have a splendid presence and are around the edges exceptionally detailed in finishing.

Each candelabrum is built from a heavy, richly worked base with openwork scrolls and floral motifs. The shaft flows into a graceful vase form with openwork side handles, beautifully captured in detail. The upper section branches into four luxuriantly formed arms around a central candle holder, adorned with acanthus leaves and classical French stylistic elements.

The candelabras are artisanal, made from heavy-quality bronze or brass, finished with a gold-tone fire gilding or high-quality patinated gilding. The undersides show the authentic, old casting structure and the classical screw connections, underscoring the sturdiness and quality of these heavy pieces. An absolute top piece for a classical or eclectic interior.
