Description from the seller
Magnificent pair of five-arm brass chandeliers – Baroque style
Superb pair of decorative brass chandeliers, gilded, with five arms each, presenting an elegant classical silhouette with beautiful curved volute arms.
These charming chandeliers stand out for their refined, harmonious aesthetic, inspired by traditional European décor forms.
Each chandelier rests on a wide, flared circular base, adorned with concentric mouldings, ensuring a nice stability for the whole set.
The central stem, nicely turned, features a succession of rounded and tapered shapes that add a lot of elegance.
The four lateral arms, delicately curved in an S-shape, end in pretty circular cups intended to hold the candles.
A fifth slightly elevated candleholder completes the composition harmoniously.
The brass displays a beautiful antique gold color, with subtle darker nuances and a natural patina that highlights the vintage charm of this pair.
Characteristics:
- Style: Classical Baroque-inspired, with volute arms.
- Estimated era: 20th century, probably second half.
- Estimated years: 1970–1980,
- Material: Brass.
- Color: Antique gold, patinated brass.
- Height: 24 cm each.
- Width: 17 cm each.
- Quantity: 2 five-arm chandeliers, i.e., 10 candle slots in total.
Condition:
Nice overall decorative condition, with a lovely natural patina tied to time.
Presence of some oxidation traces, light scratches and signs of use consistent with their vintage character.
The candle holders also show a few verdigris oxidation traces on the inside, visible in the photographs.
The chandeliers have not been fully polished in order to preserve their old patina.
A suitable cleaning could restore more shine according to the buyer’s preferences.
This elegant pair will find its perfect place on a fireplace, a console, an antique sideboard, or a reception table.
Very beautiful decorative objects, with timeless charm, that will appeal to brass lovers, lovers of classical decoration and vintage items.
Sold together, without candles.
