AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
It is an elegant pair of Spanish 900 silver candelabras, crafted in a refined classical style. Each candelabrum features three lights, with a central stylized stem decorated with vertical fluting and two symmetrical lateral arms with curved profiles, enriched with volute motifs and vegetal ornamentation. The wide circular base is decorated with reliefs of acanthus leaves, giving the set an elegant and regal presence.
The pieces display the “900” alloy, corresponding to an alloy with a theoretical fineness of approximately 900 thousandths of silver. Originally the bases incorporated counterweight material to provide greater stability, but said filling has been removed. The total weight of the two candelabras is approximately 1,028 grams, not including the base counterweights.
Because of its balanced design, its rich decoration and its considerable presence, this pair constitutes an attractive example of Spanish decorative silverware with a classical-inspired style. It is a set especially suitable for both collection and table decoration, fireplace, or interiors in a classical style.
