About

Elevate a mantel or dining table with this refined pair of French Louis XVI candelabras, crafted circa 1870 with exceptional decorative detail. Each antique piece stands on an elegant tripod base with scrolled feet, rising to a central porcelain column beautifully hand painted with delicate floral reserves set against a rich blue ground, framed by gilt accents.
The finely cast gilt bronze structure features a fluted standard supporting four gracefully curved arms, adorned with draped garlands, acanthus leaves, and foliate ornamentation. Each candle cup is finished with a flared, gadrooned rim and matching bobeche, completing the classical silhouette with balance and symmetry.
The contrast between the luminous gilt bronze and the vibrant porcelain medallions adds depth and sophistication, making these candelabras both functional lighting elements and striking decorative statements. Ideal for a formal dining setting, console, or mantel display, they also offer the option to be professionally converted into table lamps if desired.
The pieces are in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, with a rich, time-softened gilt patina and crisp detailing throughout.
Dimensions: 11″W x 11″D x 16″H
