Pair Louis XVI Period Figural Patinated & Ormolu Cadelabrum on Marble Plinths

About the Item

A n Exquisite Pair of Louis XVI Period Figural Patinated and Ormolu Candelabrum on Marble Plinths. These remarkable candelabra epitomize the artistic splendor of the Louis XVI period. Inspired by the lively scenes of Bacchanalian revelry, the patinated bronze sculptures depict male and female figures captured in dynamic poses. Gracefully half crouched atop elegantly fluted white marble plinths, the sculptures exude an air of classical elegance. Enhancing the allure of the plinths, delicate ormolu foliate decorations are tastefully arranged in a repeat pattern within the lower sections of each fluted concavity. The plinths' bases extend outward, forming a gently sloped step that is lavishly adorned with ornate ormolu surrounds. Both male and female subjects are portrayed with a sublime sense of nudity, veiled by the presence of flowing fabrics that delicately drape their figures. In their hands, they carry exquisite ormolu torches that serve as candelabras, adding a touch of refined illumination to any space. The figures themselves are masterfully crafted from richly patinated bronze, showcasing the utmost attention to detail and artistry. France, Circa: 1780
