A pair of French gilt-bronze candelabra circa 1825

with a winged female classical figure holding four lights, on a sphere and leaf-cast column and square plinth

In overall good condition. The colour overall is slightly darker and more attractive than in the catalogue photograph. Attractive detail to casting. They are slightly dirty and would benefit from a light clean according to taste. There is evidence that there was possibly a fixing perhaps a finial in the centre of the ring issuing the candlearms. Therer is a nozzle on each bent slightly as visible from the photograph which can easily be straightenend.The gilding on the plain ring on the baluster stem is worn and a different colour to the rest. The torch of the figure on the right is in bronze and could be a replacement.
