Pair of large and important Empire candelabra in gilded bronze and dark patina. France, early nineteenth century. Shafts depicting a female figure in the form of caryatids holding four flames, two of which come from two cornucopias held, the other two from the handles of a Louis XVI vase resting on their heads. Square section base in Alpi green marble embellished with gilded bronzes. These candelabras are a perfect example of the luxury and elegance of the Empire era, combining the strength of bronze with the delicacy of classical shapes. Period: early nineteenth century.
