About the Item

Pair of French Empire Gilt Bronze Candlesticks, 1820s A powerful and elegant pair of French Empire candlesticks, masterfully cast in gilt bronze with fine neoclassical detailing. The circular, stepped bases are richly adorned with alternating borders of guilloche and stylized leaf patterns, accentuated by subtle engine-turned textures that catch the light beautifully. The cylindrical shafts feature intricate cross-hatched engraving, lending a refined geometric rhythm that contrasts with the smooth, polished sections above and below. Each capital is delicately ornamented with laurel and palmette motifs, emblematic of the Empire’s enduring fascination with classical antiquity. An exceptional example of early 19th-century French bronze craftsmanship — both restrained and opulent, reflecting the grandeur and precision of the Napoleonic era. Wear consistent with age and use.
