Pair of 18th Century French Candelabras

Offered by: Jacqueline Adams Antiques

Description
This exquisite pair of 18th-century French gilt bronze candelabras, now elegantly converted into table lamps, embodies the opulence and refined craftsmanship of the Louis XVI period. Each candelabra features a finely cast bronze structure with an elaborate three-arm design, gracefully curving outward from a central urn-shaped column adorned with classical motifs.

The base is richly decorated with intricate acanthus leaves, floral detailing, and a gadrooned edge, all highlighted by the warm patina of the original gilding.

The arms of the candelabras are adorned with delicate scrollwork and foliate embellishments, adding to their sculptural elegance. The candle sleeves are designed with a wax-drip effect, preserving the authenticity of their original function while enhancing their vintage charm. The addition of pleated white shades lends a soft, diffused glow, perfectly complementing the warm golden hues of the bronze.

Expertly electrified for modern use, these lamps retain their historical integrity while offering contemporary functionality. Their graceful neoclassical aesthetic makes them an ideal statement piece for a grand salon, formal dining room, or refined bedside table, effortlessly blending with both traditional and transitional interiors.
