Ornamental candlestick in patinated bronze – Louis XV Rococo style – 19th century

Elegant 19th-century candlestick in patinated bronze, inspired by Louis XV, remarkable for the richness of its rocaille decoration and the finesse of its sculpture. The shaft features a graceful female figure in high relief, topped with vegetal scrolls and a flowered bobeche adorned with masks. The trilobate base, abundantly decorated with shells, acanthus leaves, and scrolls, offers a very beautiful decorative presence. A piece full of character that will naturally find its place on a fireplace, a console, or within a classic, eclectic, or contemporary interior. The old patina presents very beautiful shades of antique green and deep brown, attesting to its authenticity.
