Candelabrum (2) - Silverplated

Beautiful pair of large three-light silver-plated candelabra in the Louis XVI / Neoclassical style, probably dating from the late 19th or early 20th century.

Each candelabrum measures approximately 40 cm in height and stands on a broad, molded circular base accented with an elegant beaded frieze. The slender, tapered stem is adorned with various molded and beaded details characteristic of the Neoclassical decorative repertoire.

The upper section features three lights: two curved, scroll-shaped side arms and a central light. The candle sockets and drip pans are also edged with beaded decoration.

The central section is embellished with an urn-shaped element with a removable top, allowing the candelabrum’s appearance to be changed when it is not being used with a central candle.

Old hallmarks are present beneath the bases. They are visible in the photographs but are now too worn to allow a definite attribution to a manufacturer or silversmith.

The set has a beautiful aged patina. There are signs of use, small scratches, oxidation, and localized wear to the silver plating, consistent with the age and use of these pieces.

A decorative pair of impressive size, balanced and elegant, particularly representative of the Louis XVI and Neoclassical styles.
