This pair of candle holders is made of spelter with a silvered finish, in a Neo-Renaissance style that evokes the opulence of the Louis XIII era. Each candle holder features a detailed construction, typical of spelter work from the late 19th or early 20th century. The base is raised on four scroll feet and decorated with cartouche and foliage motifs. The stem, or shaft, is punctuated by a twisted column and gadrooned elements, ending in a matching binet to hold the candle. The gilded finish gives the ensemble a warm glow, although patinated by time. The overall condition of the pair is good, testifying to its history and past use. The structure of each candle holder is solid and intact. The patina that has developed over the years adds character and authenticity to these pieces, highlighting the complex details of their design without compromising their aesthetic integrity. These candle holders can serve as a focal point on a fireplace, a console table, or a dining table. Their historical style allows them to fit equally well into a classic interior or to bring a touch of eclecticism to a more contemporary decor.
