Pair of giltbronze candlesticks
Pair of large gilt bronze candlesticks. Each candlesticks has a circular base decorated with winged female holding wreaths and floral on a matt background. The stem is partly fluted, its base and top are decorated with lyres, swans, ewers and baskets of flowers on a matt background. The stem is surmounted by four cornucopias with flowers and a bobeche in shape of vase decorated with lanceolate leaves and flowers. Under the Restauration, the candlesticks are very popular because their use is generalized. The different types of candlesticks borrow forms full of charm and fantasy.
