Pair of Napoleon III Patinated Bronze Patina 5-Light Candelabra, France C 1870s

About the Item

Pair of Napoleon III Patinated Bronze Patina 5-Light Candelabra France Circa 1870s A exquisite pair of Napoleon III patinated bronze candelabra, crafted in France during the 1870s. Standing at an impressive 30 inches tall, these candelabra are a true testament to the opulence and craftsmanship of the era. Each candelabrum features a central figural sculpture of a bird holding a serpent, perched upon a tortoise. This intricate sculpture showcases the attention to detail and artistic skill of the bronze sculptor. Above the sculpture, a five-light bobeche candelabrum adds a touch of grandeur and elegance to the piece. Supported on a fluted column, the candelabra rest on triparte acanthus leaf and lion caryatids with paw feet. These decorative elements add a regal and classical aesthetic, reflecting the influence of the Neoclassical style during the Napoleon III period. In their recent use, the candelabra were adapted as lamps, and as a result, the bird finials are now removable. They were previously used as lamp finials, adding to the versatility and functionality of these magnificent pieces. If desired, the candelabra can be electrified to be used as table lamps; please inquire for more details. These candelabra are ready to be placed and used, either as stunning decorative accents or as functional lighting fixtures. Their impressive size and intricate details make them ideal for creating a focal point in any room or adding a touch of historic grandeur to your space. Embrace the elegance and historical significance of these Napoleon III patinated bronze candelabra. Experience the beauty and craftsmanship of 19th-century France, and elevate your decor with these remarkable pieces. Whether used as decorative accents or transformed into table lamps, they are sure to make a statement in any interior setting.
