A pair of Napoleon III gilt-bronze mounted Chinese export cantonese enamel seven-light vase candelabra Paris, circa 1870

On one candelabra the lily cast branches will need to be tightened; six nozzles lacking to candelabra; all foliate flowers to branches are complete; the gilt-bronze mountes to the vases have been cleaned and with minor ares of oxidation and dirt and tracing of brown wax; the ceramic vases have been restored and now with a coat of spray so that the restoration is invisible to the naked eye.
