AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Two Fine Antique and Heavy Five-Arm Candelabras in the style of the rich Neo-Rococo (Rococo Revival / Louis XV). From the Late 19th Century (circa 1880–1895).
In good, solid antique condition with normal signs of aging and use.
Attention:
The feet show clear casting flaws of cast brass from copper and zinc (cold pour/creep crack) from the original production process. These are explicitly not breaks, damage, or cracks, but an authentic characteristic of the local hand-made sand-casting method. Clearly recognizable by the rough, somewhat grainy texture on the hollow inside of the foot. This is not a later, tight factory-made machine replica.
The design breathes the French Louis XV (Louis Quinze) idiom. The asymmetrical, flowing C-scrolls, the acanthus leaf ornaments, and the undulating, organic arms are directly copied from the original French Rococo designs of the 18th century.
The total weight is around 5 kg.
For a candle diameter of 2 cm.
