Pair of toilet candlesticks with chased acanthus leaves, fluting and strings of pearls. Beautiful mercury gilding, fine gold in matte and bright. Louis XVI Directoire period, late 18th century or circa 1800, to be compared with the work of Feuchère, who delivered similar models during the Empire at Fontainebleau.
Quality model; our candlesticks are made up of 7 elements, which is a significant number for candlesticks of this size (the more elements, the higher the quality). All elements are made of bronze, not brass, and assembled on a hand-forged threaded rod.
A fine model to complete a late 18th or early 19th century setting, on a dressing table or desk.
Our candlesticks are in very good condition, complete with bobèches and well-preserved original gilding.
