I am offering for sale this very beautiful antique candelabrum with four lights, of great presence and richly decorated. A piece in the neo-Renaissance / historicist style, characteristic of the 19th century, Napoléon III / Second Empire period, with particularly intricate decoration. The candelabrum rests on an architectural base with three lobes, adorned with the heads of fantastic chimeras, featuring numerous sculpted details: acanthus leaves, palmettes, volutes, scrolls, and plant motifs. The creatures notably have small red details around their mouths, adding a lot of character to the whole. It has three curved arms of light around a central flame, making a total of four lights. The sockets are pierced, allowing for the potential passage of wiring and thus a possible future electrification. However, the candelabrum is currently not electrified and is presented in its configuration as a candle candelabrum. The surface has a very deep old brown patina with gilded highlights, as well as areas revealing a coppery metal and some traces of greenish oxidation. The metal appears to be a copper alloy, probably old bronze or brass. I prefer to maintain this formulation rather than assert a composition without metallurgical analysis. 📏 Dimensions. * Height: 47 cm. * Maximum diameter / width: 35 cm. * Weight: approximately 3.45 kg. * 4 lights. * Not electrified.
