Description from the seller
Pair of antique solid bronze candelabra, richly crafted, with six arms each. The design is heavily inspired by the Rococo/Neoclassical style, featuring scrolls, vegetal ornaments, and embossed details throughout the entire structure.
The bases are heavy and elaborate, with sculptural elements and decorative cutouts, ensuring great stability. The upper candlesticks feature decorated cups and well-defined supports for traditional candles.
Pieces with a patina and natural wear of time, preserving the original charm and highlighting the aged bronze. They maintain an imposing presence and great decorative value.
Approximate measurements (each candelabrum):
Height: 50 cm
Total width: 26 cm.
• Weight: Heavy and stable pieces (solid bronze)
Cast bronze with relief decoration.
Period: Late 19th century to early 20th century (estimated).
Condition: Good overall condition, with signs of use and aging consistent with the age. Solid structure, with no functional failures.
Ideal chandeliers for classic environments, elegant interior decor, restoration of old houses, or collecting. Pieces with a strong visual presence and excellent artisanal quality.
Seller's Story
I am passionate about art, antiques, and decorative objects with historical and aesthetic value. I carefully select unique pieces for auction, prioritizing those that stand out for their originality, quality, and history.
I have a special affinity for antique mirrors inspired by the work of Alphonse Mucha, acquired from private collections and antique shops in Portugal and France. I also place great importance on pieces made of carved wood, especially in gilded relief, which represent the refinement and craftsmanship of classical decorative arts.
