Two antique Louis XVI style candelabras in plated brass from France, dating to 1850–1900, each with a central stem and five light arms, measuring 36 cm high, 38 cm wide and 38 cm deep, in good used condition with minor signs of age.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
They are two candelabras that fit fully into the Louis XVI aesthetic, that characteristic blend of balance, symmetry, and refinement that marked the transition from Rococo to a more sober classicism. Here, crafted in plated brass or German silver, they preserve that slightly cold yet elegant sheen that distinguishes noble metals when intended for table or salon pieces.
The structure is classic: a stylized central shaft rises with firmness from which the curved arms depart, perfectly proportioned, ending in cups for five lights. The curves are restrained, never excessive, and the details—grooves, discreet volutes, small moldings—respond to that taste for measured ornamentation that defines the style.
The base, wide and fluted, provides stability and an almost architectural air, as if the piece rested on a base of a classical column. All of them speak of the late 19th or early 20th century, when French tradition continued to set trends and European workshops produced candelabras of great presence for dining rooms, salons, and ceremonies.
They are pieces that today still retain their capacity to give presence to a space: elegant without rigidity, decorative without loudness, heirs of a formal language that continues to work more than a century later.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
