- Pair of 6-light gilt bronze candelabras, Louis-Philippe period (1830-1848) 19th century work.
- Triangular base with concave sides adorned with rais de cœur, supporting a tripod with bent lion paws on which rest acanthus leaves alternating with scrolled shells arranged between the paws like lambrequins. The turned shaft is fluted and sheathed, with a base decorated with water leaves and large vertical leaves, supporting a bouquet of six lights. The central stem rises above all the others and features two tiers of leaf bases bearing a binnacle decorated with a frieze of leaning water leaves, while the five branches arranged around it evolve into an S shape with leaf and inverted scroll. They end with the same decorated spigot.
- These candelabras are distinguished by the finesse of their chasing and by the research into material effects, with a variety of finishing techniques (polishing, guilloche, bush-hammering). Also noteworthy is the ingenious assembly: each element is removable. This allows the six-light candelabra to be transformed into a torch.
- Good state of preservation
- Dimensions - Height: 57 cm, Width: 23.5 cm, Depth: 23.5 cm
