LOT DESCRIPTION
主标题：罕见的铁铸工艺灯烛台对 - Charles PIGUET，约1920年 - CP字母组合签名

- 描述：
罕见而出色的一对桌上四灯灯烛台，均为实心铁铸，源自1920年代（装饰艺术风格）。来自艺术家在里昂的知名锻造工作室，本批为有眼光的收藏家提供的珍贵机会，能够获得一对完整、有记录且签名的同规格对。
作为法国产品力学艺术在现代主义高峰时期的典型代表，这对四灯灯烛台在结构工艺上展现出卓越技艺。凭借其雕塑感前卫美学，Charles Piguet的作品与Raymond Subes、Edgar Brandt、Gilbert Poillerat等最受追捧、最具声望的作品相媲美。

- 鉴定与签名：
每件作品均由Charles Piguet的官方独特“CP”字母交错徽样进行完美鉴定，冷铸于卷涡底座的卷曲部分（见所附微距照片）。

- 技术与结构：
全部手工锻造，这些灯烛台呈现出一座建筑性的结构美，灯柱的几何线条与底座的有机卷曲及热塑成型的铃状滴脚相得益彰，重量充实，证明了高品质实心铁铸工艺。

- 中央锥状圆柱（ balustre）旋转立管：
灯臂与卷基之间通过一件极佳的铸铁（或模制钢）件连接，该件以机械车削成形。被称为“ turned baluster stem（或 molded knot stem）”，此建筑元素在铁锻表面的粗糙纹理之间形成体积感与鲜明的几何对比。通过看不见的内螺杆锁紧，牢固地固定结构，使这对灯烛台呈现出高贵、严谨且完美建筑化的轮廓。

- 保存状况与结构细节：
卓越。该对灯烛台经过精心清洁与处理，完美保留其深色、原始的 patina，未见任何现代修复、着色或腐蚀穿透。对挑剔收藏家来说，需 visually 验证的三处关键物理特征：
. 完美几何对齐：在过去一个世纪中未有扭曲，灯烛台笔挺且稳定，线条高贵而严谨。
. 完全无结构松动：由于内部螺杆锁紧，灯臂与底座之间不存在松动或摇晃。
. 收藏级 patina 的完整性：原始表面处理未被触及，手工锻打的痕迹与铁的石墨色调清晰可见，未添加蜡质遮盖或掩盖性清漆。

英文版要点
TITLE:Charles Piguet - Pair of Art Deco wrought iron candelabra, stamped monogram "CP" - c. 1920

- Description:
A rare and remarkable pair of table candelabra with 4 lights each (8 light sockets in total) made of solid wrought iron, dating from the 1920s (Art Deco period). Coming from the artist's famous Lyon workshop, this lot represents a rare opportunity for discerning collectors to acquire a complete, documented, and signed pair of this caliber.
Exemplifying French art metalwork at the very zenith of the Modernist movement, these 4-light pieces demonstrate outstanding technical mastery. Through their sculptural and avant-garde aesthetic, Charles Piguet's creations proudly stand on par with the highly coveted and prestigious works of Raymond Subes, Edgar Brandt, and Gilbert Poillerat.

- Authentication and Signature:
Each piece is fully authenticated by Charles Piguet's rare official monogram featuring the intertwined letters "CP", cold-stamped on the scroll of the volute base (see attached macro photographs).

- Technical Quality and Structure:
Entirely hand-forged, these candelabra feature a striking architectural structure where the geometric clean lines of the stems beautifully contrast with the organic scrolls of the base and the delicate, hot-shaped tulip-style drip pans. The substantial weight attests to the premium quality of the solid wrought ironwork.

- The turned baluster central stem:
The connection between the light-bearing arm and the scroll base features a superb cast iron (or molded steel) component shaped through mechanical turning. Known as a turned baluster stem (or molded knot stem), this architectural element adds volume and a striking geometric contrast against the raw texture of the hand-hammered wrought iron. Secured by an invisible inner threaded rod that tightly locks the structure, it gives this pair a noble, rigorous, and masterfully architected silhouette.

- Condition Report & Structural Details:
Exceptional. The pieces have been meticulously cleaned and prepared to fully preserve their superb, healthy, and original dark collection patina, completely free from any modern paint, alterations, or structural rust. For discerning collectors, three major physical details can be visually confirmed:
. Perfect Geometric Alignment: The items have suffered no warping or twisting over the past century. Both candelabra stand perfectly straight and stable, displaying a noble and rigorous silhouette.
. Zero Structural Play: Thanks to the invisible inner threaded rod that tightly locks the components together, the structure features absolutely no loose play or wobbling between the tulip-style arm and the scroll base.
. Integrity of the Antique Patina: The original surface treatment remains entirely untouched. The authentic hand-hammered details and graphite nuances of the iron are fully visible, without any masking wax or distorting varnish.

. Artist: Charles Piguet (1887-1942)
