This pair of 19th-century French Empire candelabra stands on triangular bases supported by lion paw feet. Each piece is cast from brass with an aged gold gilt bronze finish and holds four candles. The design includes a fluted central column adorned with acanthus leaf mouldings, rising to a central nozzle and three scrolled arms ending in additional candle holders. The visible surfaces show a muted golden tone with subtle surface variations from age. Measuring 41 cm high, 21 cm wide, and 21 cm deep, these candelabra sit comfortably on a mantelpiece, sideboard, or dining table in a traditional or French chateau interior. They bring classical illumination and antique decorative presence to a living room, dining room, or entrance hall when styled with traditional tapered candles.

FAQs

French Empire style candelabra feature classical architectural proportions, fluted columns, decorative acanthus foliage, and sturdy claw or paw feet supported by plinth bases.

Traditional French candelabra were predominantly cast in solid brass, bronze, or ormolu (gilded bronze), often finished with detailed hand-chasing and gilding.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-threaded screws, casting seam variations, natural surface oxidisation in recessed details, and substantial weight from solid cast metal.

Place a pair symmetrically on a dining table, marble mantelpiece, or sideboard to introduce warm metallic texture and historical contrast within contemporary schemes.

Remove surface dust using a dry microfiber cloth, avoid harsh chemical polishes that strip original patina, and gently clear wax residue using warm water and mild soap.
