About the Item
Large pair of ormolu and malachite rhino table candelabra
French, 20th Century
Height 134cm, width 55cm, depth 49cm
This remarkable pair of candelabra is centred around finely cast patinated bronze rhinoceroses, each forming the base for an elaborate arrangement of lights. Resting on architectural stepped bases of rich malachite, the sculptures are elevated by ornate gilt bronze mounts, including classical friezes, scrollwork feet, and decorative framing details.
Each rhinoceros supports a gilded platform bordered by a pierced gallery and adorned with draped garlands and glass drops. Rising from this is a twisted ormolu stem set with malachite accents, which branches out into eight scrolling arms, each further embellished with foliate details and suspended droplets. In total, each candelabrum supports nine lights.
Combining sculptural drama with refined craftsmanship, these exceptional pieces bring a bold and decorative flourish to any interior.

Pair of Louis Philippe style of malachite and ormolu candelabras
Located in Warsaw, PL
"Beauteous antique candelabras are a wonderful combination of three contrasting tones. The golden color of gilt bronze evokes immense luxury, nobility, and wealth.
The black color of the ebony gives the angel figure a highlight that is not boring and bounded by the majestic yellow color.
Dark green by malachite brings clarity, creativity, and high aesthetics placed at the end. The pedestals of pair candelabras have a square shape that provides solidity, regularity, and symmetry. The ormolu motifs inlaid on the rectangular podium are reminiscent of art nouveau. Art Nouveau is famous for its flowery and asymmetrical waves.
Art nouveau has inspiration from nature such as flowers, plants, with soft curves such as semicircles, parabolas, or arcs. But the truth is this chandelier is in the style of Louis Philippe (1830-1848).
Louis Philippe style is one of the special styles that often take advantage of the luxurious aesthetics of malachite. Louis Philippe style is named after Louis Philippe - the French king after the revolution of 1830.
Louis Philippe style inherits many styles but is characterized by increased electric development of neoclassicism. In addition, the Neo-Gothic and French Restoration syle elements are clearly expressed by less cumbersome motifs, expressing comfort, elegance and emphasizing the wonderful beauty of natural malachite on the candle holder.
Gilt bronze floral garland printed on malachite rectangular base is acanthus leaf pattern. Acanthus leaves are usually very coherent in card form, large in shape, and serrated. Acanthus leaves pattern is the inspiration of many manufacturers because it has a classic but no less special breath of the Renaissance. The multi-petaled flowers are meticulously interlaced in acanthus motifs, bringing the breath of nature. In the end, a floral and acanthus leaves pattern with lots of curves l2 straight lines vector artichoke print...
