Pair of large candlesticks or torches in matte and bright mercury gilded bronze, Empire period - early 19th century, circa 1810.
Richly decorated with palmettes on the base and tap, the shaft is shaped like a quiver. They are composed of 3 independent pieces, entirely in matte and bright mercury-gilded bronze (bronze only, no brass parts). The model is singular: the structure is reminiscent of the Regency style, while the stylistic repertoire is completely Empire. This is not French work, but more likely a high-quality Russian or Swedish production.
A fine collector's piece in very good condition: no dents, accidents or deformations. Original mercury gilding well preserved.
