Two bronze candelabras in the Louis XVI style, dating from 1900–1910, with square bases and a central shaft supporting five curved arms, in a warm gold patina with acanthus leaves and garlands, in good used condition with minor signs of age.
Description from the seller
They are two candelabra that clearly represent the Luis XVI spirit reinterpreted in the full 19th century, crafted in gilded bronze with that blend of classical sobriety and ornamental richness that defines the style. The structure is vertical, balanced, almost architectural: a central shaft that rises firmly from which five arms branch out in elegant curves, each ending in clearly defined cups that maintain the proportion and serenity inherent to the neoclassical language.
The gilding, warm and deep, enhances the fine reliefs that run across the entire piece: acanthus leaves, discreet volutes, small garlands and classical motifs that evoke a return to order and the formal purity of the 18th century, but with the artisanal hand and decorative sensibility of the 19th. The square bases, supported on paw-shaped feet, provide presence and stability, in addition to that theatrical touch that was so popular in historicist decoration.
They are candelabra that combine courtly elegance and solid craftsmanship, pieces designed to dress tables, consoles or living rooms with a light that not only illuminates but ennobles the space. Their patina, soft and authentic, adds character without diminishing refinement, confirming that these are objects with history and quality.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
