This pair of French candelabra dates from 1880, created in the French Rococo Revival style after a model by Clodion. The pieces are constructed from gilt bronze, patinated bronze, and white marble, displaying a palette of gold, dark brown, and white. Each candelabrum features a dark patinated bronze cherub figure standing atop a fluted white marble plinth, holding three gilt bronze acanthus leaf branches with scroll nozzles. The bases include square gilded bronze feet with curved edges and torus mouldings. Measuring 50 cm high, 20 cm wide, and 23 cm deep, these decorative items are suitable for placement on a mantelpiece in a French chateau interior. The design incorporates detailed figural work and chiseled foliage elements, presenting a balanced composition typical of late nineteenth-century decorative arts.

FAQs

These pieces typically feature classical figures, such as cherubs or nymphs, sculpted in patinated bronze holding gilded bronze foliage-shaped candle branches, mounted on marble bases inspired by 18th-century Rococo and Neoclassical designs.

Fine examples combine patinated bronze figures with cast ormolu (gilded bronze) mounts and candle nozzles, set upon turned or fluted marble plinths.

Look for heavy, finely chased cast bronze detailing, original gilding showing subtle wear, threaded iron central rods inside the assembly, and marble bases with period chiselling.

Position them symmetrically on a sideboard, fireplace mantelpiece, or console table to create visual balance and add sculptural texture alongside contemporary art.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth or dry natural bristle brush; avoid abrasive cleaners or water on gilt bronze to preserve original gilding, and use specialized marble cleaners for stone bases.
