PAIR OF FOUR-LIGHT ARMED CANDELABRARDS Gilt bronze
58 x 25 cm
This pair of candelabra stands on a tripod base with a scroll and stylized shell. It supports a covered pot-shaped terrace centered on a sun.
The smooth shaft is preceded by leafy light arms that hold Medici vase shaped bobèches.
By their ornamentation, these lights recall the aesthetics in vogue during the reign of Louis XV (1723-1774). It will be remembered that if Louis XVIII (1814/1815
- 1824) was considered moderate, the same was not true of his brother, the Count of Artois (later
Charles X), who was largely influenced by counter-revolutionary ideas and who was crowned in the cathedral of
Rheims on May 29, 1825. Automatically translated by DeepL. To see the original version, click here.
