Professionally re-gold plated and bronze patinated. Note: Interest in the art of Ancient Egypt began to take root following Napoleon I''s invasion of Egypt at the end of the 18th century. It is for this reason that the so-called Egyptian Revival style in the decorative arts is often seen as an offshoot of the so-called Empire style, the dominant decorative style in the age of Napoleon. Nice Pair French Candlesticks of compact proportions in lovely untouched condition.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------We are proud to be able to say we run one of the most successful Antique Shops in Dublin, together with our partner Shop Martin Fennelly Antiques and have an exceptional on-line selling reputation, just have a glance through our "TESTIMONIALS" link.
