Two antique bronze Atlantes from the late 19th century, originally candelabra and later converted into lamps, in Napoleón III style, produced in France, measuring 28 cm high by 12 cm wide by 12 cm deep, in acceptable condition with possible minor parts missing and requiring a small electrical update to restore function.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
They are two antique Atlantes from the late 19th century, originally conceived as candelabras, which in the 20th century were converted into lamps, keeping intact their sculptural strength. The figures, of classical bearing and marked musculature, rise on circular pedestals decorated with vegetal motifs, like small living columns that support the light. Brass, worked with detail, preserves that warm, deep shine that old metals acquire, with a patina that enhances the volumes and expressiveness of each figure.
The transformation into lamps is visible at the top: one of the Atlantes already has the socket installed, while the other shows the structure prepared to receive it. Both require an update of the electrical system, something common in pieces adapted decades ago and that today require only minimal intervention to restore their functionality safely. Even so, the decorative essence remains intact: they are figures that bring presence, theatricality, and a late Neoclassical air that fits perfectly in interiors with a taste for the historic.
Overall, they are pieces that combine nineteenth-century craftsmanship, the functional reinterpretation of the twentieth century, and a sculptural character that makes them lamps with soul
Certified shipping and good packaging.
