About the Item

This elegant pair of gilt bronze candlesticks dates from the 18th century and reflects the refined artistry of French decorative arts of the period. Each candlestick is finely cast with a fluted baluster stem rising from a broad circular base adorned with spiraling motifs and molded edges, offering both balance and sophistication. The gilded surface retains a beautiful patina, enhancing the sculptural quality and depth of the bronze. Designed to hold taper candles, these candlesticks were likely intended for an intimate salon or chapel, where they would have provided both illumination and ornamentation. Their timeless form, with subtle Rococo and Louis XVI influences, makes them a versatile addition to classical or contemporary interiors. A distinguished example of 18th-century French craftsmanship, they embody elegance, harmony, and enduring luxury.
