This concerns a pair of French pièce de milieu candle holders, crafted in the characteristic Art Nouveau style. The design is distinguished by the detailed, openwork silhouettes of female figures and lions, giving these objects a distinct historical character.
The set is constructed from a thin metal alloy with a dark, patinated finish that accentuates the intricate cutouts. Each piece has a height of 33 centimeters, excluding the candle, and rests on a sturdy, cross-shaped base. The decorative elements reflect the organic and mythological motifs typical of French decorative arts from the early twentieth century. The objects were originally acquired from a Parisian gallery in the 1980s, contributing to their provenance history.
The candle holders are in good condition commensurate with their age and previous use. The metal has developed a natural patina over the years, enhancing the authentic appearance of the set. Structural integrity has been fully preserved.
These sculptural objects look excellent as a centerpiece on a formal dining table or a classic sideboard. They add a layered, historical element to both traditional and eclectic interiors.
