AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Splendid and imposing pair of brass 4-arm candlesticks, ideal as high-end decorative elements for dining tables, sideboards or fireplaces. The candlesticks show exquisite artisanal craftsmanship, inspired by the canons of Neoclassicism and the French Empire/Restoration style. The structure is characterized by rich ornamentation of foliate scrolls, with bobeches and flames finely chased in the smallest details. The slender central shaft is made of precious green hardstone, creating an elegant chromatic contrast with the luster of the brass gilding, slightly discolored as in the photo on one of the two candlesticks due to time. The entire structure rests firmly on a shaped tripod base with richly ornamented leonine feet of tasteful design. Structurally intact with an antique patina on the gilding that attests to its authenticity and historical charm. No signs of restoration or obvious damage despite the years.
