Gilded bronze.
Measurements: 46 x 27 x 27 cm.

Pair of candelabra in Empire style. Each of them has a body of lights with three arms chandelier type, gilded and decorated with plant motifs. The three arms converge in the central shaft consisting of a fluted column, molded and embellished with scrolls, which ends at the top by a large flare. The whole piece rises on a triangular base from which emerge three legs ending in hooves that, in their upper third, are transformed into beautiful branches with scrolls. The gilding is of high quality, as evidenced by its opulent luster. The acanthus leaves, the carved lighters, the floral corollas and the sheaths foliated with each other constitute a masterful and eclectic ornamental play.
