AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
In this auction, a pair of solid brass neoclassical candelabra crafted in the Corinthian column style, a classic decorative motif inspired by Greco-Roman architecture and widely reproduced from the late 18th to the 20th century. The top (capital) of each candlestick is finely chased to reproduce a detailed Corinthian capital, characterized by the characteristic curved acanthus leaves that support the upper socket for inserting the candle.
The central body consists of a slender, fully fluted column, which lends verticality and geometric rigor to the structure. The pillar rests on a solid circular, modanated base, which in turn adjoins a wide stepped square base. This base features relief work with vertical geometric motifs and fan-like decorations or gadrooning.
There is evident a widespread, natural patina of time that darkens the recesses of the fluting and the details of the capital, enhancing the three-dimensionality of the chiselled details.
