Pair of candlesticks or torches
Silvered bronze, three elements
Paris, last third of the 18th century
Dimensions: H. 16.5 (cm.)
Pair of candlesticks or so-called "fist" or "toilet" candlesticks resting on a scalloped quadrangular base, the shaft in a column with rudentate grooves. Smooth bobèches. Sand cast, the barrel in two brazed shells, characteristic of the period.
This format has multiple names. They made it possible to wash oneself, and thanks to their compact format, to move around at night. Thus, they were often placed on small furniture such as a dressing table or a bedside table. But they can also be used as decoration, for example as desk toppings.
Condition report: very slight wear to the re-silvering, an associated bobèche
