Pair of gilded bronze candlesticks, late Louis XVI period or early Empire period.
Our candlesticks are identical to the model exhibited at the Château de Fontainebleau and listed in Jean-Pierre Samoyault's book Clocks and furnishing bronzes entered under the First Empire, number 148.

A pair of identical candlesticks was found in 1807 in the room of Marechale Duroc.

This model is distinguished by their great sobriety as well as excellent quality of execution. Acanthus leaf base, row of pearls, was fluted into a quiver.

They are made up of 7 independent parts (a sign of the quality of the model), entirely in matte and shiny mercury-gilded bronze (bronze only, no brass parts).

Beautiful collector's item ideal for an Empire or Louis XVI decor.

Very good condition, original gilding slightly attenuated but still very present, the collar of a bobêche slightly twisted.

Height: 24cm
