Pair Of Chased Ormolu Candlesticks Inverted In Table-lamps, Restauration Period, Circa 1820

Pair of Chased Ormolu Candlesticks inverted in table-lamps, Restauration Period, circa 1820

Description:
This pair of chased ormolu candlesticks rises on a fluted shaft, topped by a ring of flowers and a garland of leaves and fruit.

The vase-shaped nozzle is decorated with acanthus leaves and clusters of beads. The base of the shaft is carved with acanthus leaves, and the circular foot features a radiating pattern of roses.

These candlesticks reflect the skill of Parisian bronze-workers during the Restauration, who took up the vocabulary inherited from the Empire and enriched it with more abundant floral ornament. The quality of the chasing and the brilliance of the gilding make them decorative pieces of great elegance.
