AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
2 x Beautiful Antique and Heavy Five-armed Candelabras in the style of the rich Neo-Rococo (Rococo Revival / Louis XV) from the Late 19th Century (circa 1880–1895).
In good, sturdy antique condition with normal signs of age and use.
Attention:
The feet show clear casting flaws from cast brass made from copper and zinc (cold runner/shrink crack) of the original production process.
These are explicitly not breaks, damage, or cracks, but an authentic feature of the local manual sand-casting method.
Clearly recognizable by the rough, somewhat grainy texture on the hollow inner side of the foot.
This is not a later, tight factory mechanical replica.
The design breathes the French Louis XV (Louis Quinze) vocabulary of form. The asymmetrical, flowing C-scrolls, the acanthus leaf ornaments and the wavy, organic arms are directly copied from the original French Rococo designs of the 18th century.
Total weight is around 5 Kg.
For a candle diameter of 2 cm.
