About the Item

A fine pair of antique French Napoleon III gilt bronze seven-light candelabra, exquisitely cast in the form of abundant flowering lily bouquets. Rising from classical urns adorned with finely modeled winged masks, the naturalistic branches support seven flower-form candle cups amid a profusion of blossoms and scrolling foliage, creating a dramatic and highly sculptural presentation. The richly chased gilt bronze bouquets are supported by fluted pedestal stems and architectural bases embellished with acanthus ornament, scrolling volutes, and neoclassical motifs. The contrast between the formal Empire-inspired structure and the exuberant Rococo-influenced floral ornament exemplifies the eclectic sophistication favored during the Napoleon III period. Displaying exceptional craftsmanship and retaining a warm, lustrous gilt surface, these impressive candelabra possess remarkable presence from every angle. Their sculptural quality allows them to function equally well as decorative objets d’art or as grand lighting elements on a mantel, console, or dining table.
