Private sellerProduct description
Pair of authentic 19th-century solid bronze three-light candelabra, a testament to the excellence of French craftsmanship.
1880-1890
1.976 kg each, 30 cm high.
Handcrafted in sand casting, featuring authentic textures on the base, plinth, and figures.
Hand-finished with file marks on the bases and structures, this is meticulous handwork, a technique used in the finishing of antique bronzes.
Fully chased, this rare model features a winged nymph (wings are not always depicted) and benefits from complete and meticulous chasing, including the candle cups and veined foliage, ensuring a perfect aesthetic from every angle. Each candle cup bears an original rectangular mounting mark, irrefutable proof of hand-fitting in the workshop, as well as period screw fixings.
Beautiful patina. Napoleon III style: electric and opulent, richly ornamented. Technical skill of the bronze casting, entirely sand-cast, file marks, bobeche markings, mythological inspiration, nymph integrated into a floral decoration, classic signature of this period, with elegance
