We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

  • SizeH 51 cm (20 in) x W 24 cm (9 in) x D 20 cm (8 in)

This pair of nineteenth-century Louis XVI style candelabra combines patinated dark brown bronze cherub figures with gilt bronze and red marble elements. The putti figures stand upon stop-fluted pedestals embellished with delicate vertical mouldings, supported by square rouge marble plinths resting on small round metal feet. Each cherub holds curved, branching candle holders terminating in textured acanthus leaf sconces designed to hold multiple candles. The metalwork displays contrasting dark patinated bronze bodies and bright gold-toned ormolu surfaces throughout the intricate leaf patterns and classical architectural bases. Measuring 51 cm high by 24 cm wide and 20 cm deep, these substantial ornaments are well suited for display on a prominent mantelpiece, sideboard, or large console table in a formal living room or dining room interior. They provide symmetrical illumination and traditional French decorative character when arranged as a pair in a reception space.

FAQs

Originating in 18th-century France, the Louis XVI style is characterised by neoclassical symmetry, classical motifs such as acanthus foliage and fluted columns, and structured proportions inspired by Greco-Roman antiquity.

These decorative objects typically combine cast and hand-chased gilt bronze (ormolu) with dark patinated bronze, mounted upon natural marble or porphyry bases.

Authentic items feature mercury gilding with sharp hand-chasing, original threaded rods or square-headed bolts beneath the base, and notable structural weight due to solid metal castings.

Position them symmetrically on a sideboard, fireplace mantelpiece, or console table to introduce classical proportions and rich material contrast against contemporary wall surfaces.

Dust surfaces using a dry, soft brush or lint-free cloth, avoiding liquid chemicals, metal polishes, or water that can remove original gilding and alter aged patination.
