AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An elegant and antique French-made, hand-wrought, two-light table candelabrum or wedding candlestick, crafted in fine gilt bronze. Provenance: France. dating from around 1880–1910 (Louis XV / Eclectic style).
The piece stands out for the complexity and refinement of its fusional workmanship, featuring a rich ornamental repertoire inspired by classical and neoclassical/eclectic motifs:
- Central body and arms: It has pierced arms decorated with scrolls, rosette motifs and finely chiseled vegetal details. The top of the stem is embellished with a pine cone/bud finial.
- Candle holders: (buds) present a motif of palmettes and raised beading.
- Base: The solid three-footed base is richly incised with foliate scrolls, palmettes and floral elements, ensuring stability and visual elegance.
- Era: Late 19th century – Early 20th century (circa 1880–1910).
- Style: Eclectic Historicist/Napoleon III taste (with clear references to Louis XV and Louis XVI styles through the curved volutes and acanthus leaf motifs).
- Material: Gilt bronze (with original patina from the period).
- Maximum height: approx. 18 cm
- Depth: 12 cm
- Width (maximum span between the two lights): approx. 22 cm
- Condition: Very good, structurally intact. Presents a splendid and natural patina of time with slight traces of oxidation and wear of the original gilding at the points of greatest contact, elements that attest to its authenticity and age.
