Pair of gilt bronze candlesticks - Louis XVI period, circa 1785

A rare and elegant pair of finely chased bronze candlesticks gilded with mercury, Louis XVI period, circa 1785.

They stand on a circular base adorned with a gadrooned frieze, surmounted by a tripod shaft decorated with antique-style female heads, treated in slight relief and linked by foliage scrolls. The twisted central shaft supports a spigot decorated with straight flutes and a string of pearls, typical of the neoclassical repertoire of the late 18th century.

The ensemble is fully in keeping with the antique taste of Louis XVI's reign, marked by a return to Greco-Roman models. The finesse of the chasing, the balance of proportions and the quality of the mercury gilding testify to the mastery of Parisian craftsmanship.

Very good condition. Bright, well-preserved original gilding.

French work, Louis XVI period, circa 1785.

Dimensions:
Height: 21.5 cm
Base diameter: 9.5 cm

A refined, decorative pair, ideal for a console, chest of drawers or period mantelpiece.
