Unusual Napoleon III Gilt Bronze and Champlevé Five Cup Candelabras - A Pair
Located in Morristown, NJ
Late 19th c., France, a pair of Napoleon III gilt bronze and champlevé candelabra. Four neoclassical column supports are surmounted by five candle cups, on an enamel decorated plinth. Both are unmarked. The beautifully decorated square base is delicately referenced in the square elements under the candle cups and between the column supports.
