Description from the seller

Two pairs of splendid and imposing candle holders in solid bronze, notable for their shape, different from the usual wooden ones covered in brass. The base features a tripod signature with three curved scrolls, resembling a triangle, and between one part and another, unlike the typical crosses and sacred images, there is a design of the Florence lily. The base measures 13 cm in width and 10 cm in height. From here, the candlestick rises to a height of 35 cm. It consists of a central cylinder that divides the candlestick column and at both ends, two bronze rings. The entire candlestick is fully chased with designs of transverse leaves starting from the bottom and reaching the top. The central circle is also splendid, with detailed work. Then the upper part is shaped like a cup, also a marvel, as it is entirely chased, with a base that includes a small plate for the wax and the candle holder.
The second pair of processes is identical to the first. The only difference is that in the previous one I applied a varnish to preserve the patina that formed, whereas these are in gilded bronze.
They have a wide tripod base measuring 15 cm in width and 10 cm in height. It is entirely carved with the lily of Florence. From here rises the neck of the candlestick, 30 cm tall, also divided into two parts: the first is 15 cm high with an oval ring protruding from it, onto which the second part is mounted.
This also features a column worked across with alternating bands, one of which has leaves surrounding the candlestick.
The beautiful part is the final section, where the lower part is entirely carved, while the upper part features the candle holder.
It is of significant size, measuring 56 cm in height.
I am in good condition. The bronze shows only signs of age.
I had only two restored, keeping the patina that developed over the years with some metal paint. I left the others original.
It is rare to find four candelabras with the same pattern, even if of different sizes, but this enhances their use as decorative objects, between a clock or to illuminate an important table.
They were part of the furnishings of the family chapel. If desired, they can be made even more polished, but I prefer the originality of the object.
As I was saying, they have dual uses: they can be used as a pair of lamps or to create atmosphere with candles.
They are styled in either a classic or modern manner, and the fact that the lily of Florence replaces the cross adds value and sets them apart from the usual products on the market.
The impressive dimensions of height are 46 cm and 56 cm.
The terminal part is splendid, featuring a circle entirely chiseled from below and topped with a brass disc.
I deliberately left the wax to give it authenticity.
For shipping, I use private couriers instead of postal services because it arrives faster and has double packaging; the communication is also simpler.
The candlesticks are tall, so the
The package will be bulky, which is why the costs will be high. It will be packed with a thousand bubbles and sponge and placed in a box.
Costs vary depending on whether it is Europe tier one or two, such as the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Eastern countries, and tier three, such as Norway, Malta, Cyprus, and the rest of the world.
The customs duties will be paid by the buyer.
