Pair of Louis XV Rocaille Style Candle Holders in Gilded Bronze and Marble

Pair of Louis XV Rocaille Style Candle Holders in Gilded Bronze and Marble. Dimensions: Height: 32 cm. Width: 32 cm. Elegant pair of Louis XV Rocaille candle holders forming bouquets of fully opened lilies. Each piece features a particularly refined naturalistic composition where the candle holders take the shape of open flowers, surrounded by sinuous stems and leaves. The structure is made of gilded bronze, combined with petals in gilded metal, creating a remarkable decorative effect. The openwork bases, with flowing lines, rest on a circular white marble base that highlights the elegance of the whole. The very organic design, directly inspired by nature, is characteristic of the Rocaille aesthetic, in the spirit of French creations of the 18th century, from Parisian productions around 1880. Period. Napoleon III. Materials. Gilded bronze, marble base. Condition. Good overall condition. Slight wear to the gilding and signs of use consistent with age. Very attractive decorative set.
