About the Item

This antique figural candlestick holder is crafted in gilt bronze (ormolu) and is attributed to French production of the 19th century. The piece features a finely detailed sculptural composition of three putti (cherubs), arranged in the round, standing on a circular base and collectively supporting a rope-molded candle cup above their raised arms. The rich gilded surface highlights the classical modeling of the figures, with carefully rendered facial expressions, flowing hair, and draped garments, reflecting the high decorative standards of the period. The overall style is strongly evocative of the French Louis XV Revival and Napoleon III eras, when ornate figural bronze objects were widely produced for luxurious interiors. The candlestick appears to be made of gilt metal or bronze; as with many decorative objects of this type, later reproductions may exist in composite or spelter materials, though original examples were typically executed in bronze with fire gilding or mercury gilding. Comparable antique examples—particularly when found as a matching pair and in original gilt—have achieved notable values on the antiques market. Individual pieces, condition, provenance, and whether the item is an original 19th-century work or a later reproduction can significantly affect valuation.
