Description from the seller
They are a pair of five-light candelabras made of gilded bronze, crafted with that theatrical refinement so characteristic of Napoleon III’s taste.
Each piece centers on a central full-figure cherub rendered in the round, seated on a rocaille base and holding a small flaming attribute that acts as the visual axis. The figure, with soft anatomy and serene expression, adds an intimate and almost playful touch to the ensemble, balancing the exuberant upper ornamentation.
From the back of the cherub rises a sinuous shaft, enriched with leaves, scrolls and volutes that open into a branching arbor of curved arms. These arms culminate in five candle holders arranged in a crown, each with a finely chiselled cup and bobèche.
The bronze preserves a warm gilding, with nuances that enhance the volumes and the depth of the modeling.
The whole conveys that mix of theatricality, luxury and fantasy so characteristic of the Second Empire: pieces designed to dress a salon, a sideboard or a console with light, shine and sculptural presence.
Tracked shipping and careful packaging.
