An important pair of neoclassical-style candelabras depicting two young women draped in the antique style, each supporting a seven-light candlestick.
The white marble bases are rimmed with gilt bronze and adorned with natural bronze bas-reliefs depicting two young women from Roman mythology. The white marble highlights the two large bronze figures, whose details are finely sculpted, notably the draperies and expressive faces. At the top stand two seven-light candlesticks with finely chiseled gilt bronze scrolls extending to the lower part of the sockets.
Excellent craftsmanship and substantial dimensions, signed Pradier et Susse Frères.
