Candleholder (2) - Patinated bronze - Louis XV / Rocaille style

A beautiful pair of antique French candelabras (each with two light points) executed in the rich and graceful Louis XV (Neo-Rococo) idiom, dating from the late 19th century (circa 1880–1890). The design features dynamic, asymmetric lines, graceful C-scrolls, and highly detailed acanthus leaves and floral motifs typical of the French rocaille style. The arms flow in an organic, undulating manner upward from the central stem. Authentic characteristics & casting method: The underside of the base shows clear traces of the original, artisanal hand-made sand-casting process. The interior has the characteristic rough, granular texture and displays minimal, harmless casting irregularities (such as shrinkage cracks/cold shuts) inherent to this historic production method. The outer stand ring shows old filing and turning marks. The candelabras are assembled via a central internal mounting pin. No factory blueprints or stamps were found, which is quite common for this type of 19th-century interior bronze pieces."
