Four-light Candelabra Signed Alonzo

Four-Light Gilt Bronze Candelabra – Signed Alonzo. An important four-light candelabra in finely chased and gilt bronze, signed Alonzo, a sculptor active in the 19th century, renowned for his elegant female figures and decorative bronzes inspired by Neoclassicism. The candelabra rests on a full-length female figure, draped in the antique style, with supple and harmonious modeling. In a graceful and balanced pose, she supports with raised arms a central stem that blossoms into four richly ornamented candle arms decorated with scrolls and vegetal motifs, typical of 19th-century decorative vocabulary. The gilding is bright and well-preserved, highlighting the fineness of the chasing and the quality of the workmanship. The whole is mounted on a polygonal black marble base, lending elegance and stability to the piece. A striking decorative piece, signed, ideal for a mantelpiece, console table, or formal setting, representative of the 19th-century taste for sculptural bronzes inspired by antiquity.
