    Rare pair of "Seditious "* candlesticks in silver-plated bronze, chased tapered shaft on a round base decorated with palmettes and Greek friezes, with royalist decoration hidden in the tap showing the profile of the late Queen Marie-Antoinette in shadow, from the post-revolutionary/Empire period, late 18th/early 19th centuries.
    These candlesticks are in good condition and of exceptional quality.
    Please note: accident and hole in a bobèche, small crack in the top of a binet, scratches and wear from the passage of time, see photos.
    * Seditious objects:

    commissioned by royalists; this way of evoking the royal family after the revolution is a tribute paid to a bygone era without being troubled. There are also so-called seditious engravings concealing hidden figures. (See note on a pair of urns or seditious vases in the Musée du Louvre, no. OA 11833).
