About the Item
Mid-19th Century French Gilt Bronze Five-Light Candelabrum with Classical Motifs
A finely cast French gilt bronze five-light candelabrum, dating to the mid-19th century and executed in the Empire Revival style. The central foliate column rises to five scrolled candle arms, each with fluted nozzles and petal-form drip pans. The design draws upon classical and neoclassical influences, with acanthus, guilloche and stylised leafwork throughout.
The triform base is supported by paw feet and originally featured lion mask and shell mounts to each side. One of the three lion mask mounts is now lacking, though the surface remains clean and stable. The quality of casting is particularly high, with sharply defined detailing and excellent proportion.
Retaining much of its original fire-gilt ormolu, the surface displays soft wear and mellowed patination. A decorative and finely executed example of French 19th-century bronze work, suitable for use or display.
France, circa 1850–1870
