Pair of French bronze floor candelabras from the late 19th century, each 94 cm high and 45 cm wide with a tripartite base and six arms, in dark patina with small signs of aging.
Description from the seller
Important pair of nineteenth-century French freestanding candelabras, executed in bronze, with elegant decorative presence and remarkable ornamental language. Each piece features a vertical structure set on a tripartite base, with cut and voluted feet, imparting balance and grandeur to the ensemble. The shaft, with a turned and robust profile, is enriched by relief decoration with vegetal motifs, stylized leaves and elements inspired by naturalism, revealing a decorative taste characteristic of French 1800s production. The upper section develops into six arms of light, harmoniously arranged around the central axis, forming a symmetrical and balanced composition. The arms, with a sinuous design and graceful movement, end in sockets intended to support candles, and are also embellished with leaf reliefs and scrollwork. At the center rises a vegetal finial that reinforces the sculptural character of the piece. The base is particularly expressive, presenting pronounced volumes, well-defined molding, and relief decoration, including foliate motifs and decorative elements that enrich the aesthetic reading of the whole. The bronze has a dark tone and a patina coherent with the antiquity of the pieces, enhancing the reliefs and underscoring their historical character. This is a pair of decorative pieces with strong visual impact, suitable for both classical settings and interiors inspired by historicism, capable of distinguishedly integrating salons of state, entrances, libraries, or reception spaces. With signs of use and aging compatible with the period.
