Pair of candlesticks, Empire period; c. 1810.Gilt and blued bronze.Electrified.Measurements: 58 x 29 x 12 cm (x2).Pair of candelabras that present the same structure that is supported on a gilded base of square format, on which there is a high foot of square structure, in which the finish of the gilded bronze isbined with ornamental appliqués. The latter are conceived through a classical inspiration based on antiquity, as the corners are topped with fantastic animals that appear to be sphinxes, and in the main area there is an applique representing the symbol of the god Hermes. The shaft of each of the candelabra is a winged woman holding in her hands a gilded bronze structure from which lights emanate at each end, while the centre is topped with a third light.Candelabra of this type were verymon in the First Empire and, because they were inspired by them, in the Second French Empire. In both cases, the influence of classical decorative elements is clear, both in the reliefs and in the human figures on the pedestals, always with marked straight lines.Dimensions: 58 x 29 x 12 cm (x2).
