Work from the Empire period, attributed to Claude Galle (1759-1815)
Pair of gilt bronze candlesticks called "wonderful".
The fluted shaft rests on a circular base from which stand out feet wearing ballet flats. At its top are represented three busts of women leaning against each other, wearing feathers and adorned with jewels.
The base as well as the binet are enriched with flowers, stylized leaves and rosettes.
