Patinated and Ormolu Bronze Candelabras

About the Item

These pair of candlesticks are made from patinated bronze and finely embellished with ormolu. The base of the candlesticks are from interlocking two-layer of patinated bronze and gilded bronze circles that gives it a sturdy but refined look. The knop and stem of the candelabras are gilded and adorned in neoclassical features. Right below the candle cup is a bust statue of a woman in patinated bronze inspired by 19th century hair style and a bit Directoire. The motif adorning the top of the nozzle in the gilt bronze is the acanthus leaf, commonly used in Greek decorative art. Just below the acanthus gilt bronze pattern is a rose band made of patinated bronze. Further down the body of the ormolu candlsticks, the more we see the more harmonious combination of floral and leaf motifs with gilt bronze is. The directoire style pair of ormolu candlsticks show classic beauty and minimalism.

  • 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...
