Pair of Louis XV style candlesticks. France, ca. 1870. Gilded bronze. Measurements: 24 x 14 x 14 cm. Pair of candlesticks made in bronze whose design is framed in the transition between the late baroque and the rococo. The model is the usual one throughout the Baroque period, a model of European origin characterised by a foot and a voluminous shaft. The ornamental motifs are reminiscent of examples of the decorative art of the Louis XVI period, but reinterpreted to suit 19th-century aesthetic tastes.
