Elevate your table with this authentic pair of baluster candlesticks, genuine pieces of 19th-century French silversmithing.
→ These pieces boast an elegant and timeless Louis XV style. Originally silver-plated (as evidenced by the hallmarks on the base), they now display a magnificent patina of bare rose copper. It is this natural wear and warm reflections that give them their distinctive "shabby chic" charm.
→ Technical details:
• Material: Double-layered copper (a high-quality, traditional silversmithing technique).
• Weight: 980 g per pair (excellent density and perfect stability).
• Dimensions: Height approximately 21 cm.
• Markings: Silversmith's hallmarks, including the scales and crown symbol, and the word "DOUBLÉ" (double-layered) stamped on the base of each candlestick, guaranteeing their authenticity.
→ Style: Classic, 18th century, ideal for a family home, upscale antique shop, or cabinet of curiosities style decor.
→ Condition: Beautiful vintage condition with signs of age that attest to their history. Please note that the candlesticks are "as found": the patina is uneven in places, and there is a dent on the edge of one foot (clearly visible in the dedicated photo), which does not affect their stability. These marks bear witness to their long history.
→ Careful and fast shipping.
A rare and sought-after set for collectors due to the quality of its hallmarks and its authenticity.
