Description

This description has been translated and may not be completely accurate. Click here to see the original

- A patinated bronze Cupid rises from a hollowed-out square base supporting a cylindrical pedestal with guilloché decoration. His gestures are delicate: with his right hand raised, thumb and forefinger splayed, he is about to grasp an arrow from his gilded bronze quiver, which he wears on his back. With his left hand, he is holding onto an upright stem of fat leaves, bearing three lights. The central light, a continuation of the stem, ends in curved lanceolate leaves, allowing for a finely chased pedestal and binet. The frieze decoration depicts swans facing each other amidst plants. The other two arms of light, with their ruffled foliage, end in a pedestal topped by a binnacle in the form of a lanceolate leaf base. All binnacles are topped by a bobèche.

- This pair of candelabra is distinguished by its extremely fine chasing, as well as by the use of guilloché to create a variety of material effects. Adding the contrast of patinated and gilded bronze, this candelabra offers a delightful play of contrasts in color and light.

- There is some wear to the gilding and an old restoration on one of the light arms (see photos).

- Dimensions - height: 49.5 cm, width: 23.5 cm, depth: 11.5 cm
