Pair Fine Louis XVI Style Gilt and Patinated Candelabra

About the Item

This pair of two-light candelabra are finely cast with great detail and fine hand chasing. The bronze work is in both matte and burnished gilding as well as patination making the work long and labor-intense creating a rich formal appearance. The pair consisting of two candle arms centered on a baluster shaped shaft is further enhanced with entwined old world style dolphins at the base. The whole is then raised on a marble base with richly gilded feet. A nice feature of the pair is that they have the original candle snuffers which can be used as a cassoulet style candle cup making the two light into a three-light feature (see image 5) The pair though small are very dramatic and seem important and large because of the quality of work, color, and style of the craftsmanship. At the beginning of the 20th century was a great revival of this quality of work often made from 18th and 19th-century molds and with the skill of great metal craftsmen to supply the revivals of styles popularized by America's robber baron families.
