AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Up for auction: a splendid pair of small candelabra in dark gilded bronze, characterized by a refined Rococo style, rich in movement and ornamental details.

The candelabras feature a slender and elegant structure, with a shaft decorated by sinuous volutes, foliate motifs, and relief work that recall the decorative taste of the 19th century. The base, richly molded, bears a relief portrait of a playful putto.

The slightly darkened gilding enhances every detail of the workmanship, making these objects ideal both as decorative elements and as collectible pieces.

Perfect for enhancing a classical setting, but also for creating a fascinating contrast in more modern contexts, these candelabras have perfectly preserved their typical time-of-origin appearance despite the years that have passed.

Seller's Story

I offer at Catawiki auctions objects from the past, sometimes unique, rare and sought-after, ranging from paintings to wall appliques or sculptures in wood or gilded bronze. I am passionate about antiques and I’m happy to share this passion. Happy bidding to everyone!
