No, I would not be certain from the information shown. The description says "gilt brass finish", but that appears to be your own listing text, not a manufacturer's mark or a confirmed material analysis. From the photos provided, I can see: A gold-coloured metal surface. Areas where the finish is worn, revealing a copper-coloured tone underneath. Significant patina and age wear. That is consistent with: Gilt brass (most likely). Bronze with gilding. Spelter (regule) with a gilt finish. Another copper alloy with gilding. For Selency, if you are not 100% sure, I would avoid stating "laiton" as a fact. Safer options: Title: Antique gilded candlestick with cherub, French Rococo style, Belle Époque. Material: Gilded metal. Description: Antique candlestick in gilded metal featuring a cherub in the Rococo style. The gilded finish shows natural wear, revealing a coppery hue in places and a beautiful patina of age. If the piece is heavy for its size (490 g at 23.5 cm) and is not magnetic, brass or bronze becomes more likely. If you have a close-up photo of the underside, the candle socket, and any unpainted area, I can give a more informed opinion on the material.
