Product description
This antique bronze baluster candlestick dates from the late 18th century (1770 – 1810) and is executed in the characteristic Louis XVI style. The design displays the classic elegance of that period, with refined details and a timeless silhouette that emphasizes the historical value of the object.
This candlestick weighs 1.3 kg.
The candlestick is crafted from solid bronze and has developed an authentic, dark patina over the years. The baluster-shaped stem is decorated with subtle, classical motifs typical of the late 18th century. The wide, profiled base provides stability and contributes to the robust appearance of the whole. The construction consists of two parts connected by threading, an authentic detail for metalwork from this era. With all the hallmarks of pure pre-industrial craftsmanship,
with authentic green-blue verdigris patina,
In the recessed areas
This historic piece is in good condition befitting its age, where natural oxidation and the patina only enhance its character. The original finish has been preserved, underscoring the authenticity of this 18th-century find.
The stem is fully hollow cast
and hand-filed smooth (no casting seams visible)
The stem and the base are screwed together via the hand-cut threads
A charming and valuable interior piece.
Such an antique candlestick immediately adds historical depth to an interior. It comes into its own beautifully on a classic mantelpiece, a wooden sideboard, or as a charming accent in an eclectic setting where old and new come together.
