AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

An elegant set of candelabras made from solid cast brass and executed in the refined French Empire Revival style. The candelabras are borne by graceful putti (cherubs) who hold aloft a richly decorated laurel wreath, a beloved decorative motif from French neoclassical art and interior design.
The flower-shaped candle holders, the beautifully worked cherubs and the richly adorned base with acanthus ornament give the set a classic, luxurious appearance. The warm brass patina underlines the authentic vintage character.
Probably manufactured in France around 1950-1970, as a high-quality decorative interpretation of the Empire style from the early 19th century. A stylish and decorative set that fits excellently in both a classical and a modern luxury interior.
