19th Century French Furniture & Works of Art Auction

Superb and rare pair of large table candelabras in bronze, finely chiseled and mercury-gilded (powdered gold), dating from the Empire/Restoration period around 1810-1820.

These era decorative pieces are distinguished by their ingenious transformable system with removable bouquets. The upper light arm fully detaches from the central shaft, allowing the candelabras to be instantly converted into an elegant pair of torches.

The tripod base rests on lion footed supports typical of the Empire period.

These candlesticks are in very good condition.
