Pair of cast brass candle holders with a classical, symmetric design, turned stems and cylindrical candle receptacles, dating from 1850–1900, in aged golden brass finish, of French origin and in good used condition.
Description from the seller
Original pair of cast brass candlesticks, with a classic and symmetrical design, featuring a fluted shaft with a stylized profile, cylindrical receptacle for the candle, and a stepped rectangular base with softened corners. They present an aged golden finish, with natural patina, surface oxidations and signs of use. France, Late 19th century.
Due to its classical-inspired aesthetics, typology and decorative character, they are attributable to the taste of the Grand Tour, although it is not possible to establish a concrete provenance solely from the photographs. The construction in cast brass and the sober decoration are characteristics of decorative objects made following classical models.
Brand: No brand or visible signature.
Material: Cast brass.
Technique: Casting, turning/finishing and subsequent polishing.
Era: Late 19th – first half of the 20th century.
Dimensions: 12.5 cm in height × 6 × 4.5 cm base, approximately.
Weight: 160 g each (320 g for the pair).
Condition: Good, in keeping with their age and use. They show patina, small oxidation spots, wear, abrasions and superficial marks, especially on the bases and shafts. Both retain their structure and are a pair.
Observations: Interesting small decorative set, with a classical aesthetic and good presence. The reverse of the bases clearly shows the casting technique and the dark interior finish typical of brass pieces of this type.

Shipping: Sent by InPost, UPS or Correos, depending on the destination country.
