Taperstick (2) - Gilt bronze

Elegant pair of Empire-era candlesticks, made of bronze, perfectly chiseled and gilded, displaying all the stylistic characteristics of the early 19th century First Empire.

The barrels are torse-shaped and fluted, typical of neoclassical vocabulary inspired by antique columns. They rest on a circular base richly decorated with a frieze of finely pierced water leaves, highlighted by a row of beads along the edge.

With their bobèche. Mercury gilding, in good condition, with only a small label having been placed on a bobèche, which caused a slight loss of gilding.
