AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Important pair of four-flame Neobaroque candelabra in hammered bronze and natural onyx
​European manufacture, late 19th century / Napoleon III era (circa 1880-1900)
​Magnificent and scenographic pair of large antique-era candelabra, expression of the highest ebénisterie and decorative bronze work of the late 1800s.
​The structure develops with a rigorous yet fluid architecture, arranged around four flames supported by arms richly shaped with foliate volutes, finely hand-engraved with meticulous attention to detail that enhances the plasticity and chiaroscuro of the metal.
​The monumental stem is embellished with turned spools and rings in veined natural onyx (or quarry alabaster), characterized by warm amber and translucent hues that create a luxurious color contrast with the deep patina of the antique bronze. The whole culminates in a solid square base richly decorated in relief.
​A masterpiece of eclectic taste, ideal for enriching prestigious homes, grand tables, or period consoles.
​Period: Late 19th century (Napoleon III / Neobaroque period)
​Provenance: European private collection
​Condition: Excellent original conservation status. The bronze retains a magnificent authentic antique patina and is not tampered with; the natural stone is intact and wonderfully lived.
​Type: Pair of four-light table candelabra
​Dimensions: [Insert exact height and width if you have them]
​Materials: Hand-chiseled gilded/patinated bronze and natural onyx
​A collectible piece of the highest aesthetic and decorative value, destined for the most discerning connoisseurs and enthusiasts of furnishings from other times.
