Description from the seller
They are two candelabras that perfectly embody that exuberant, elegant, and theatrical spirit of Louis XV style reinterpretated in the first half of the 20th century: pieces that don’t seek to go unnoticed, but rather fill the space with their golden, sinuous, and ornamental presence.
The gilded bronze, worked with a wealth of curves and counter-curves, creates a drawing almost plant-like: stems that twist, leaves that sprout, volutes that rise as if the matter were trying to imitate the movement of a flame. Each of the five arms opens naturally, like branches of the same trunk, balanced in a dynamic symmetry very characteristic of French Rococo. There are no straight lines, no rigidity: everything flows, everything undulates, everything seems animated by an organic impulse.
The light marble base provides the perfect counterpoint: solidity, stability, a touch of mineral nobility that further enhances the warm glow of the bronze. That combination—marble and gilded metal—was highly valued in the first half of the 20th century to recreate the eighteenth-century court luxury with modern materials and techniques.
Together, they are candelabras that convey gentle luxury, theatricality without excess, a nod to French refinement reinterpreted for interiors of the past century. Decorative yet functional pieces that, even without candles, seem to ignite the room with their own golden light.
Insured shipping and careful packaging.
