About the Item
A pair of 18th-century Louis XVI metal covered wood Sicilian torchères exquisite examples of the neoclassical style, combining the elegance of Louis XVI design with the regional influences of Sicilian craftsmanship, have been exquisite decorative pieces during that period. Torchères were tall, used to hold candles to provide illumination in interiors or in small churches.
The torchères are made of wood, which serves as the core structure, white lacquered wood on the back and covered in front with a hand-embossed silver metal The Louis XVI style was characterized by its neoclassical influences and a departure from the ornate designs of the preceding Rococo period. These torchères features elegant and refined designs. The metal covering would have provided a lustrous and sophisticated appearance.
These sicilian torchères are influenced by various European styles, including French design trends like Louis XVI. The Sicilian craftsmen would have infused their own regional flair into the torchères, resulting in a unique blend of styles.
Torchères were primarily decorative objects, adding a touch of grandeur and elegance to palaces, mansions, and other luxurious interiors of the time. They were often placed in pairs to create a symmetrical and balanced composition.
