Antique Pair of French Rococo Gilt Bronze Figural Candelabra, Late 19th Century

19th century
Description

A pair of French Rococo style gilt bronze figural candelabra, dating from the late 19th century.

Each candelabrum issues four candle sconces on scrolling foliate branches, centred by a stem cast with a maiden and putto. The bases are richly decorated with scrolling floral and foliate ornament, incorporating heraldic crests surmounted by crowns, and are raised on elegant scroll feet.

The quality of the casting and the abundance of Rococo-inspired ornament give these candelabra a strong decorative presence, suitable for a mantelpiece, console table, or grand interior setting.

These candelabra were formerly used as film props, adding an interesting element to their history.

A decorative pair that can be used to complement both traditional and contemporary interiors, whether displayed on a mantelpiece, console table, sideboard, or cabinet.

The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Rococo style candelabra, originating in eighteenth-century France and revived in the late nineteenth century, feature asymmetrical scrolls, rocaille motifs, leaf ornament, and classical or cherubic figures.

These lighting fixtures were cast in bronze or brass using moulding techniques and finished with fire-gilding or electroplating, often referred to as ormolu.

Authentic pieces exhibit heavy cast metal construction, hand-chased surface details, threaded internal central rods connecting the sections, and gentle wear to the gilding on raised surfaces.

Position a pair symmetrically on a marble fireplace mantelpiece, dining table, or sideboard to serve as architectural focal points within traditional or eclectic design schemes.

Dust regularly using a dry soft brush or lint-free cloth, avoiding abrasive metal polishes or water solutions that could damage the original gilded layer.
