Private sellerProduct 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,
