Further Information
A superb pair of 19th-century French ormolu candelabra in the grand Napoleon III style. Lavishly decorative yet finely balanced, each piece is a composition of opulent gilding, classical motifs, and sculptural charm.
The candelabra emerge from white Carrara marble plinths, each anchored by a cherub who offers up a golden cornucopia sprouting a bouquet of foliate candle arms.
Richly detailed ormolu plaques adorn the marble bases, depicting charming vignettes of putti in academic and artistic pursuits, bringing a sense of narrative and whimsy to these refined pieces.
Still mounted on their original gilded wooden stands, the pair retains their historical integrity and theatrical presence ideal as a statement in any neoclassical or romantic interior.
