About the Item
This exquisite pair of candlesticks exemplifies the refined aesthetic and masterful craftsmanship of the Louis XVI style in 19th-century France. Crafted from a combination of gilded bronze and malachite, these candlesticks showcase a harmonious blend of form and function, typical of the period.
The elegant form of each candlestick is characterized by a slender columnar shaft, likely decorated with delicate fluting or reeding. The shaft supports a circular base, possibly adorned with a delicate floral or geometric motif. Atop the column, a beautifully sculpted urn-shaped cup rests, intended to hold a candle.
The base of each candlestick is likely embellished with a square of malachite, a luxurious and richly colored stone that adds a touch of opulence. The malachite base may be further adorned with gilded bronze mounts, featuring intricate motifs of acanthus leaves, floral swags, or possibly even small sculptural elements.
Key Features:
Louis XVI Style: The candlesticks embody the elegance and restraint of the Louis XVI style, a period celebrated for its neoclassical influences and refined aesthetic.
Materials: The combination of gilded bronze and malachite creates a visually striking and luxurious effect, typical of high-end decorative objects from this period.
Intricate Details: The presence of delicate fluting, floral motifs, and possibly small sculptural elements demonstrates the exceptional skill of the artisans involved.
Decorative Potential: These candlesticks would make a stunning addition to any grand residence, serving as a centerpiece on a mantelpiece, console table, or as part of a larger display.

Ormolu and Patina Bronez Candelabras
Located in Warsaw, PL
These are a pair of gilded candelabras inspired by the Louis XVI style-a style originating from France. The main shaft of the candelabras are constructed from female statues. Unlike the rest of the gilded parts of the candelabra, the women are made from patinated bronze and seems to be standing on one leg while holding up the candelabras’ arms, representing the intense vitality and brilliant beauty of women. At the feet of two young women holding lamps are soft and flexible waves, exuding strength and health, honoring the beauty of the young woman. By taking a closer look you will see that there are five arms radiating in all directions. In Western culture, the number 5 symbolizes origin, adaptability, adventure, love of freedom and diversity. The lamp base is constructed with a quadrilateral support with Acanthus inspired feet, which are classic motifs and delicately sculpted leaves. The combination of gold and bronze creates the subtle and rich tone to it, giving it true antique touch...
