Description
Elegant pair of bronze figurative candelabra, each with five lights. The stems are formed by statues of classical-inspired female figures, with a dark patina finish and gilded highlights, depicted supporting the upper structure.
The curved arms are decorated with scrolls and vegetal motifs, ending in flower-shaped nozzles. The stepped bases feature relief decoration with fluting, leaves and shell motifs in the Rococo taste.
The contrast between the gilded bronze and the dark patina of the figures gives depth and a sculptural character to the set. A decorative pair with a bold presence, suitable for a table, console, fireplace or classic interior.
Condition: In good overall condition, with localized wear of the gilding, darkening, small marks and oxidation consistent with age.
