About the Item

This rare piece captivates with the poetry of its composition. At the center stand two Chinese figures, rendered with great softness; their finely executed faces express serenity and wisdom. Surrounding them unfolds a luxuriant porcelain floral display, carried by delicately chased bronze branches. Each flower, unique in form, is enriched by a remarkably refined color palette: powdery pinks, celadon greens, soft yellows, and pearly highlights harmonize beautifully. The whole evokes an imaginary garden, light and elegant, where every detail is conceived like a note in a visual symphony. The patinated bronze mount, imbued with pure Louis XV elegance, brings balance and nobility to the composition. Its sinuous lines enhance the porcelain without ever overpowering it, instead emphasizing the fragility and preciousness of the flowers and figures. Both a decorative object and a true work of art, this candlestick embodies the taste for refined exoticism and the decorative romanticism characteristic of the decorative arts at the turn of the century. A deeply poetic piece, ideal for an elegant interior, a collection of exceptional objects, or a setting inspired by the great French traditions.
