ProfessionalProduct description
Elegant 19th-century candlestick whose silhouette draws its inspiration directly from ancient architecture and the grand neoclassical repertoire that permeated French decorative arts. Erected like a small column, it features a long fluted shaft with a dark patina, crowned by a capital abundantly worked with foliage. The square base continues this ornamentation with floral and vegetal motifs in relief, while the gilded-toned parts emphasize the overall architecture and delicately catch the light. This combination of patinas, the taste for the antique column, and the abundance of ornamentation are characteristic of historicist creations from the second half of the 19th century, during the Napoleon III era, around the years . With its height of approximately 21 cm, this candlestick possesses a striking presence. A long candle will further accentuate its slender silhouette, whether on a console table, a secretary desk, a fireplace mantel, or as part of a composition mixing antique objects and contemporary decor. Time has left it with a deep patina and some marks of use that naturally accompany its age. The shaft shows an old lean, and the candlestick is therefore no longer perfectly straight. This characteristic is clearly visible in the photographs. The piece remains stable and retains all its decorative charm. Height approximately 21 cm. Base approximately 7 x 7 cm. France, circa .
