AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Pair of candelabra/torches in gilt bronze from the Napoleonic III period of the second half of the 19th century.

The structure develops over four total flames, including three curved arms that depart from the central shaft and one at the center.

The shaft rests on a tripod element ornamented with festoons of leaves, while the middle section is supported by a sculptural group composed of three caryatids or nymphs leaning against each other.

The base profile is irregular with projecting corners enriched with bread- or spindle-shaped Moldings and resting on small pad feet.

Conditions: Excellent condition.

Origin: France, 19th century.

Signed at the bottom: H.Picard
