Description

Elegant pair of figurative bronze candelabra, each with five lights. The stems are constituted by classical-inspired female figures, with a dark patina finish and gilt detailing, depicted supporting the upper structure.

The curved arms are adorned with scrolls and vegetal motifs, ending in flower-shaped nozzles. The carved bases feature relief decoration with fluting, leaves and scalloped shells in Rococo taste.

The contrast between gilded bronze and the dark patina of the figures gives depth and a sculptural character to the set. Decorative pair with a striking presence, suitable for a table, console, fireplace or classical interior.

Condition: In overall good condition, with localized wear to the gilding, darkening, small marks and oxidation compatible with age.
