Description from the seller

Pair of finely chased gilt bronze candelabras resting on circular bases of veined black marble. Each shaft is adorned with a draped female figure in a girdle, rendered in the neoclassical taste, supporting a bouquet of four light arms with Rocaille and foliate decoration.

The arms, motioned and richly adorned with scrolls, foliage and floral motifs, terminate in bobèches with stylized leaf decor. The pedestal features a stylized vegetal motif resting on a marble base.

Decorative work characteristic of the eclectic Napoléon III taste, blending Louis XV (rocaille) influence and neoclassical.

Very good overall condition.

Dimensions: 35 cm in height, 32 cm in diameter.
Diameter of the base: 15 cm

Seller's Story

Hello, I am a French antique dealer based in Pau in the Southwest. I specialize in furniture and decorative objects from the 19th century, particularly from the Napoleonic III period. I also offer some 18th-century antiques, as well as furniture from the 1960s/70s. For small item deliveries, I go through the regular mail. For large items such as mirrors, furniture, etc., I ship with private carriers. I will keep you informed about the progress of the delivery.
