Dimensions:

Height: 32 cm

An elegant pair of Louis XV Rocaille candlesticks shaped like bouquets of blooming lilies. 

Each piece features a particularly refined naturalistic composition in which the candle holders take the form of open flowers, surrounded by sinuous stems and leaves.

The structure is crafted from gilded bronze, combined with gilded metal petals, creating a striking decorative effect.

The openwork bases, with their flowing lines, rest on a circular white marble pedestal that highlights the elegance of the entire piece.

The highly organic design, directly inspired by nature, is characteristic of the Rocaille aesthetic, in the spirit of 18th-century French creations and Parisian works from around 1880.

Period

Napoleon III.

Materials

Gilded bronze, marble base.

Condition

Good overall condition.

Slight wear to the gilding and signs of use consistent with its age.
