Pair of ormolu candelabra rococo style with two putti after the design by Meissonnier

Pair of candelabra in gilt bronze finely chiseled and decorated with two putti holding the barrel decorated with ripples and intertwined. The central stem holds three branches, one of which represents a flame. The circular base is flanked by four feet ornate with foliage which gives them a rococo style, an artistic movement of the eighteenth century, which was widely copied and amplified in the era of Napoleon III. This pair was designed after a model by Juste-Aurèle Meissonnier (1695-1750).
