A pair of Louis XVI style seven-branch figural candelabra, allegorical of winter and summer Paris, late 19th century

Overall in fair condition, the vase back plate issuing the candle arms of the figure representing winter lacks two foliate swags and shows two drill holes to its stem section. The upper nossle to each candelabra shows soldering points and loss and damage to gilding, such is consistent with later electrical fitting. One bobeche is lacking.
