AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Exceptional 5-light wall candelabrum in ormolu, Louis XV style, Napoleonic III period.
The central shaft is formed by the three-dimensional figure of a cherub or putto wrapped in draped cloths; the entire figure is cast in bronze, gilded with mercury gold, and subsequently polished, masterfully worked, and exhibiting extraordinary quality.
The figure descends into rich ornamentation of grape leaves and grape clusters, a motif that is reaffirmed and repeated in the five arms of light.
The lower base is adorned with scrolls, garlands and rocaille that culminate splendidly in a beautiful bow from which a symbolic floral and fruit composition emerges.
Centered on the large bow is a perforated hole in the bronze that allows its visual and structural anchorage to the wall.
The central cherub figure holds in its hands five serpentine and asymmetrical arms of light, whose rich decoration of grape clusters reinforces the visual strength of its aesthetics.
The nozzles adorned with acanthus leaves terminate in circular bobèches (crystal dishes) that support bulbs simulating candles, as it has been appropriately adapted for the electrical system.
An exquisite and very refined piece, of great artistic quality and an important historical heritage.
