Important Six-Light Candelabrum in Patinated and Gilt Bronze – Napoleon III Period
Description
Enhance your interior with this sumptuous six-light candelabrum—a remarkable piece from the Napoleon III period that perfectly embodies the opulence and refinement of 19th-century decorative arts.

This monumental piece captivates with its elegant contrast of materials, a subtle blend of the depth of brown-patinated bronze and the brilliant gleam of gold-leafed bronze.

Sculpture and Decoration: The central shaft features a finely modeled figure of a seated Cupid (putto) holding a floral garland.

Classical Theme: The richly ornamented base is enhanced by chased hunting trophies in relief, as well as exquisitely executed friezes and foliage motifs.

Lighting: The candelabrum fans out at the top into six arms featuring sinuous curves and scrolling foliage, crowned by chased drip pans and nozzle cups shaped like flower corollas.

Slight wear to the patina from use lends the object authentic charm and a sought-after period finish.
