About the Item

French Empire Caryatid Candlesticks with Carrara Marble Bases An elegant and finely composed pair of French Empire candlesticks, crafted in the early 19th century and embodying the neoclassical ideals of balance, antiquity, and sculptural clarity. Each candlestick is supported by a dark-patinated caryatid figure, classically draped and rendered with refined proportions, evoking the architectural vocabulary of ancient Greece as reinterpreted during the Empire period. The figures are enriched with delicately gilded details and stand upon solid Carrara marble bases, whose softly aged surface displays gentle wear and a pleasing natural patina, adding depth and authenticity to the ensemble. Finely turned gilt-bronze elements articulate the transition between marble, figure, and candle socket, underscoring the high level of craftsmanship and material harmony. A rare and decorative pair, equally suited to a formal interior, a neoclassical setting, or as sculptural accents on a mantel or console, offering both historical presence and timeless elegance. Wear consistent with age and use. Vill du ha: • en ännu mer återhållsam, ultra-gallerimässig version, eller • en variant som lutar mer mot antikvitetsmarknaden än designmarknaden?
