AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Magnificent pair of antique candle holders in gilded bronze – Louis XV rococo style – circa 1880–1900
Superb pair of antique bronze candle holders with a gilded patina, featuring a magnificent ornamental work inspired by the Louis XV style and Rococo art.
These elegant candlesticks are distinguished by their flowing, asymmetric shapes, their delicate curved branches and their sumptuous vegetal decorations.
Each candlestick rests on a gorgeous richly ornamented base with volutes, acanthus leaves and finely worked relief rocaille motifs.
The two arms, delicately intertwined, evoke plant branches with natural curves, giving the whole a particularly elegant and refined silhouette.
The candle holders take the form of small cusps richly decorated with floral motifs, resting on superb corollas of sculpted leaves.
The bronze presents a beautiful antique golden color, accompanied by a natural patina with brown and dark nuances, which enhances the reliefs and underscores the fineness of the details.
Characteristics:
- Estimated period: Late 19th – early 20th century, around 1880–1930.
- Style: Louis XV, Rococo, rocaille decor.
- Material: Bronze
- Color: Antique gold, bronze patina with dark brown tones.
- Height: 22 cm.
- Width: 21 cm.
- Quantity: 2 candle holders with 2 lights each, i.e. 4 candle positions.
Condition:
Nice overall condition for these antique decorative objects.
Presence of a lovely natural patina, some oxidation traces, light scratches and signs of use over time.
The bronze has not been fully polished in order to preserve its antique appearance and authentic charm.
These magnificent candlesticks will bring a touch of refinement and elegance to a fireplace, a console, an antique piece of furniture, or a characterful interior.
A very beautiful decorative pair, particularly appealing to lovers of antique bronzes, collectible objects, and Louis XV-style decoration.
Sold together, without candles.
