About the Item

Indulge in a Museum Quality Pair of French Patinated Bronze and Gilt Bronze Cherub Candelabra Lamps with Silk Shades. This is an exquisite Pair Of Antique French Napoleon III - Belle Epoque Patinated and Dore Gilt Bronze Cherub Putti Candelabra Lamps dating to circa 1850-1870. The museum quality lamps are extraordinary. The casting of the patinated bronze putti cherubs is of the finest quality with stunning romantic details and gorgeous patina. The faces and bodies of the cherubs reflect the highest quality of bronze casting and artistry. The combination of the dark patinated bronze with the extravagant gold gilding creates one of the most spectacular pair of lamps we have seen. Elevate your interior with this exquisite pair which are a magnificent representation of the opulence and artistry of the Napoleon III era. These richly detailed pieces feature superb putti figures—classical cherubs masterfully cast in bronze—each standing on octagonal gilded bronze bases and gracefully supporting a pair of ornate, leaf motif candelabra branches. The shades are in silk with exquisite pastel colors that beautifully complement the patinated and gilt bronze. The lamps are in excellent working order. Crafted with superb attention to detail, the lamps are finished in luxurious gilded bronze (ormolu), giving them a warm, golden glow that enhances their intricate Rococo-style flourishes. From the delicate curls of the putti’s hair to the scrolling acanthus leaves, and elegant gilded bases, every element speaks of fine French craftsmanship and timeless elegance. The candelabra lamps are a treasure. From an important private French collection. Shipping is free for these exquisite Candelabras. The Cherub Lamps are 23 inches (58 cm) tall including the shades. They are 9 inches (23cm) wide.
