Pair of Candlesticks with Odalisques Signed Louis Kley (1833-1911)
 Superb pair of candlesticks with odalisques in gilt bronze from the Napoleon III period, signed Louis Kley on the support spheres at the back.
a pair of candlesticks quite unexpected and specific to the work of Kley, in fact this pair of candlesticks play on symmetry and are pendants but if you look closely each of the vestals have different features, hairstyles, clothes and jewelry.
we find the style of this famous sculptor of the 19th century who was very fond of pairs and pendants in his work with often children and putti!
the two young oriental women are lovely and form a pendant while being very different.
They each rest on a sphere itself on a worked and flowered pedestal base, and lightly support the raised arms a socket forming a finely decorated candlestick and adorned with lion muzzles.
The whole is lovely and very unusual.
Work from the Napoleon III period.
gilded bronze candlesticks.
small wear and mats on the gilding due to the wear of time.
Two traces of verdigris visible in the photos.

Beautiful oriental vestals who will bring you brightness and light in your interior.

Dimensions:
31.5 cm high and 9.5 cm in diameter at the base.
