AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Superb antique Baccarat crystal candlestick from the 19th century, depicting an elegant putto (cherub) holding a removable bobeche.
This piece stands out for the finesse of its execution and the quality of the crystal work. The central figure, delicately sculpted in a crystal that is partly frosted, features a very beautiful handling of drapery and modeling.
It supports an elegant removable bobeche, adorned with gadroons and finished with a festooned edge highlighted by a delicate gold trim. The bobeche also bears a Baccarat signature beneath its base, just like the candlestick.
The whole rests on an imposing circular base with radiating gadroons, offering marvelous play of light and transparency.
The combination of transparent crystal, frosted parts, and gold details gives this piece an elegance and refinement characteristic of 19th-century French crystal work.
Signature
Baccarat signature visible under the foot as well as under the removable bobeche.
Condition
Very good state of conservation.
No chips or cracks detected. The crystal shows beautiful transparency and retains its luster. The gold trim is present.
