Pair Of 19th-century French Gilded Bronze Candlesticks
An Elegant Pair of 19th-Century French Gilt Bronze Candlesticks in the Louis XVI Style.
This refined pair of decorative table candlesticks is a masterful representation of the Neoclassical Revival that swept through elite 19th-century European workshops.
Expertly cast in solid bronze and finished with a brilliant layer of exterior gilding, these candlesticks replicate the architectural purity and royal elegance originally designed for the court of King Louis XVI in the late 18th century.
The interior is treated with a protective silver-toned metal wash (argent-haché or tinning) to mask raw casting marks.
Markings: Prominently stamped on the exterior vertical rim of the base with a single, small oval factory hallmark, denoting production by an established Parisian "maître bronzier".
