Pair Of Gilded Chiseled Bronze Candlesticks Rocaille Louis XV 19th Century

Magnificent Pair of Louis XV Rocaille style chiseled and gilded and engraved bronze candlesticks with two tones of matt and shiny gilding. Very beautiful assembly with a wide screw thread. Very beautiful chiseling. Thick and oily bronze which denotes a very high level of manufacturing and old gilding. Dimensions: Height 26 cm Width Barrel: 5 cm (bulge) Base Diameter: 15 cm Superb proportions. Original bobeches. Period 19th century Napoleon III Weight per candlestick: 1.5 kg, Very beautiful finely chiseled model, the particularly high weight of bronze also allows us to measure its quality. Architecture of the Candlestick: With a beautiful presence and seat, the bell-shaped base with rich moldings composed of a wide groove and rests on a scalloped flat with projections. Shell clasps and stylized acanthus leaves. Three-part arrangement decorated with floral engravings. Pretty thick and wide shaft with a very richly molded baluster-shaped shower foot decorated with acanthus leaves and shells. Its upper part is distinguished by a shower foot with placed palmettes and a pretty molded and engraved three-part leaf socket and accompanied by its beautiful bobeche with a hollow basin and contour decorated with acanthus leaves. The traditional design of the candlestick is here completely transformed by the search for dynamism and contrast. Starting from the asymmetrical base, a spiral movement envelops the object, accentuated by the opposition between ascending and descending elements. Opposing forces seem to confront each other and travel through the bronze with their quivering, in a vigorous permanent counter-movement. Condition report: Very good condition with its superb original two-tone gilding with matt and brilliant. Superb engraving. Traces of use and age. Very decorative.
