Description

Pair of Louis XV style ormolu candlesticks adorned with brown patina putti.
The shaft features an acanthus leaf scroll embracing a delicate putto.
The putti are not in strictly identical poses, but each raises an arm to the sky, one to the left, the other to the right.
The quality of the work lies in the fact that it's a true facing pair, not two identical items.
Each candelabra has four arms of light, twisted into an elegant curlicue more or less adorned with acanthus leaves.
The binnacles, generously decorated with foliage and flowers, rest on elegant cups, themselves composed of leaves. The bobeches are simpler. It's worth noting that the two tops have been changed, giving them a slightly different motif. A small, barely perceptible peculiarity (see last 2 photos).
The feet, consisting of interlacing foliage and flowers, are in the pure rocaille style, very much in vogue in the Louis XV period and even more so in the second half of the 19th century, when our objects were created.
These candlesticks measure 45 cm high and 22 cm wide. Intended more for decoration than lighting, they will appreciate a place close to a source of light that will enhance their gilding.
