About the Item

Pair of Empire bronze and marble candelabra with three branches each. The lights are supported by bronze caryatids with dark brown patina, who are dressed in long tunics à l’antique and have their backs to a pillar, forming the stem. The S-shaped ormolu lights are decorated with foliage and wreaths and end in a socket highlighted with interlacing and twisting patterns. The candlestick arms surround a central stem decorated with lilies in patinated bronze. The set rests on a two-tiered base adorned with friezes of interlacing and cupids dancing and playing, which itself is supported by a cylindrical, white marble base. The simple and elegant forms of the First Empire were inspired by Antiquity. Cups, vases, and pitchers use Greek and Roman amphoras and urns as their models. Subdued decoration joins pure forms, with typical Empire motifs such as eagles, snakes, lilies, water-leaf, and swans. Decorative objects from the First Empire are admired for their rigorous elegance, well-balanced proportions, and elegant design, circa 1800 Dimensions: W 10.2 in x D 10.2 in x H 20.5 in.
