Pair of very large brass FLAMBEAUX with bell base, large bobèche, shaft with twisted column, small bobèche and cylindrical socket. They are decorated with stamped and embossed motifs of bunches of grapes and scrolls.
The five elements of each torch are held by a threaded rod at the ends fitted with nuts.
Height: 36.5 cm
BELGIUM or NETHERLANDS, 18th century
In good condition, original and consolidation brazing are visible in the photographs, particularly on one of the shafts. The nuts and a retaining washer have been replaced, these conservative measures are also visible in the detailed photos of the underside of the feet.
Beautiful decorative presence
