Pair of 19th Century French Bronze and Gilt Five Light Candelabra

An imposing and highly decorative pair of exceptional quality 19th-century French bronze and gilt five light candelabra, dating to circa 1850.

Each candelabrum stands on three raised foliate feet set upon a stepped circular base, enriched with elegant beaded gilt collars. Rising from the centre is a bold acanthus leaf support adorned with further gilt and bronze decorative collars, leading to a finely cast classical figure. One candelabrum features a graceful maiden, while the other is modelled as a male satyr, each holding a finely detailed gilt bronze cornucopia from which the scrolling upper branches emerge.

The five foliate-cast branches comprise four lower lights surrounding a raised central candle arm, creating a striking and well-balanced silhouette. The branches are finished in rich brown patinated bronze, beautifully contrasted by the removable gilt bronze sconces.

A superb example of mid-19th-century French craftsmanship, combining classical inspiration with outstanding decorative appeal.
