Pair of Fine Quality Mid 19th Century French Régence Style Bronze & Gilt Bronze Three Branch Candelabra

19th century
Description

A pair of fine quality mid 19th century (circa 1870) French Régence style bronze and gilt bronze three branch candelabra, these being very versatile as they can also be altered into a pair of single candlesticks.

The candelabra each consist of a bronze candleholder with gilt bronze flambeau snuffer to the centre surrounded by three further bronze candleholders with scrolling branches all with foliate decoration, all having egg and dart gilt bronze drip pans, gilt bronze collar and reeded and foliate column.

This leads down to gilt bronze collar of scallop shell design with gilt bronze draped acanthus collar below, each of the candelabra having finely cast tri-form tapered columns with foliate design and acanthus decoration below.

The candelabra are supported on decorative bronze and gilt bronze tri-form bases with draped anthemion decoration terminating on stylised bronze paw feet with a moulded tri-form plinth below.

The candelabra can be altered into a pair of single candlesticks if required, this making them extremely versatile.

This pair of candelabra are in very good condition for age and can go straight into a home.

FAQs

The French Regence style, spanning the early 18th century transition between Louis XIV and Louis XV eras, is defined by symmetrical structures decorated with classical motifs, acanthus foliage, strapwork, and sculpted masks. Nineteenth-century revivals maintained these balanced forms, pairing rich dark patinated bronze with mercury-gilded highlights.

French candelabra of this period were primarily cast in bronze using the lost-wax or sand-casting method. Decorative contrast was achieved by combining dark chemical patination with mercury gilding (ormolu) on chased elements such as capital mounts, leaf motifs, and flame finials.

Authentic 19th-century examples display substantial weight, sharp hand-chased surface details, and threaded assembly rod systems joining individual cast sections. Natural age wear to the gilded surfaces and dark oxidisation in recessed areas are typical indicators of genuine period manufacturing.

A pair of bronze candelabra can be placed symmetrically on a marble mantelpiece or a contemporary sideboard to flank a central mirror or painting. Their contrasting dark metal and gilt finishes provide visual grounding in both traditional and minimalist interior schemes.

Dust regularly using a dry, soft lint-free cloth or a natural bristle brush to reach recessed casting details. Avoid chemical cleaners, metal polishes, or water, as liquid solutions can strip original patination and compromise fragile gilding.
