AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Magnificent pair of Louis XVI flambeaux
Second half of the 18th century
Gold-plated bronze
France

Rich ornaments hand-engraved
Branches, floral sheaves, palmettes, and acanthus leaves elegantly arranged, reflecting the craftsmanship and creative abundance of the century.
Note that if the motifs on the terraces are identical, the barrels and bins offer variations (see photos).
The set is in usable condition: minor embossments at the bases of the terraces and caps, as well as two casting cracks at the base of the drums, which do not affect the overall solidity (see photos marked in red). We also note some age spots (see photos circled in red).
Very beautiful timeless pieces (fully dismantlable)

Height: 28 cm
Terrace diameter: 12.5 cm
Weight: 1.5 kg

Perfectly protected, tracked, and insured shipment via Colissimo or Chronopost.
