Pair Of Patinated Bronze Candelabra, Neoclassical Style And 19th-century Refinement, 1880

I present to you a superb pair of patinated bronze candelabra, an exceptional example of 19th-century French craftsmanship. These pieces, dating from the Napoleon III era, are in the Neoclassical style, evoking the expertise of renowned artists such as Barbedienne and Auguste-Nicolas Cain. Each candelabra is crowned by a heron, a symbol of grace and elegance, which seems to watch over the entire composition. The rich and deep patina of the bronze lends these objects a majestic and timeless allure. The details are remarkable: the heron's feathers are finely chiseled, and its dynamic yet harmonious pose adds a touch of life to the whole. The base of the candelabra is adorned with motifs in the shape of deer or stag hooves, an aesthetic choice that reinforces the connection with nature and classicism. These elements, typical of the Neoclassical style, recall the classical influences so dear to this artistic period. The elegant curves of the arms, which support the candlesticks, are adorned with scrolls and acanthus leaves, enhancing the sophisticated character of these pieces. Standing 60 cm tall, these candelabras exude a discreet yet majestic presence, ideal for elevating a classic or contemporary interior. They are designed to hold several candles, creating a warm and refined atmosphere, perfect for special dinners or evenings. I should point out a small repair to the base of one of the herons, which in no way detracts from the beauty or stability of the whole. These candelabras, in very good condition, are ready to illuminate your space with a touch of history and prestige. These pieces, both functional and decorative, are an investment for art lovers and collectors seeking objects imbued with meaning and beauty. They embody the perfect blend of utility and art, and will appeal to those who appreciate bronze craftsmanship and the timeless elegance of the neoclassical style. Don't hesitate to add a touch of distinction to your home.
