Pair of candlesticks in the 4 seasons, Louis XIV era

Very nice pair of candlesticks from the Louis XIV period (late 17th - early 18th century). Bronze manufacturing, gilding in very good condition (a few small scratches and stains). The cask is composed of 4 busts representing the seasons. The base of the candlesticks is engraved with rinsings and chanted with 4 bearded faces. A pair of the same model (but incomplete) is on sale at a famous french auctioneer, between 1500 and 2000 euros excluding fees (see photo). Very fine handmade chisel. The candlesticks are perfectly stable. Note, slight deformation of a binet (seen in the first photo), a repair on a thread for a binet, deformation on the bobsledders and on one of the feet (see photos).
