Description from the seller

In this auction, we offer an important pair of candelabra made of gilded bronze and marble of French manufacture from the Napoleon III era.
The chandeliers have 8 lights, 3 on the sides and one in the center.
They are complete with every single part and in good condition.
The gilded bronze is in exceptional condition.
The patinated bronze of the arms holding the candles is also in excellent condition.
The sculptural work of the bronzes is, to say the least, very rich in details.
Flowers, ears, fruits, leafy vegetables, endless decorations can be seen.
The arms are attached to the central body through small flowers that twist like in the photo.
The marble columns are made with 2 individual blocks and a marvelous sculptural work carving vertical grooves along the entire height of the shaft.
Very slight signs of age are observed on the marble part, an ancient restoration on the base, and a tiny chip.
There is a small bronze flower (screwdriver) missing.
The wooden part beneath is in excellent condition.
All the bronze containers to hold the candles are present, except for the two central ones that did not exist originally.
The candlesticks are in their found condition and should be professionally cleaned to enhance their brightness, already very shiny.
A cleaning of the marble could be considered, but we advise against it to preserve its originality and antiquity.
The central pin passes through the entire height of the candlesticks.
There are the original wrought iron fixed blocks.
Measurements: 35 cm height
Measurements: 25 cm wide.

Observe the multiple photographs, an integral part of this description, where the individual details can be clearly seen.

Rapid and insured shipping managed by Mail Boxes 2 days after payment of the auction.
Congratulations to the winner of this auction.
