These monumental candlesticks are a testament to Baccarat's exceptional craftsmanship. Each has three candle holders that are adorned with exquisite "girandolles", central elements that dazzle with crystal teardrops called "pampilles". They rise above rampant lions of dépoli crystal whose smooth texture contrasts with the sparkle of the crystal teardrops. At the apex of each chandelier, an oversized crystal tip adds a touch of height and distinction.
