Pair Of 17th-century Bronze Candlesticks
An important pair of 17th-century bronze candlesticks. These candlesticks feature robust, baluster-shaped shafts, punctuated by successive bulges, resting on a stepped pyramidal base. The top is fitted with a spike designed to hold the candle directly. In the 17th century, candlesticks were widely used in churches, chapels, and private oratories, as well as in aristocratic homes, particularly for illuminating fireplaces and tables on special occasions. They played a crucial role in the overall lighting design. Through their understated elegance, the quality of the bronze, and the balance of their proportions, these candlesticks perfectly exemplify the aesthetics of the 17th century.
