Candlestick - Brass - French candlesticks

Pair of very beautiful antique solid bronze candlesticks in the shape of two roaring lions.
Both are of exceptionally high quality. It doesn't get much better. The photos speak for themselves.
Nice detail is the tail that doubles as a handle.
French origin and both objects date from 1870 and are therefore quite old.
The condition is great and they are quite heavy.
