A large pair of Louis XVI style gilt bronze and bleu turquin marble six-light floor-standing candelabra France, late 19th century

Sotheby's Monaco, Chateau de Ferrières, December 3, 1994, lots 111 and 112.

Overall in good condition and presentation. Two bobeches and drip pans replaced on each (and show very minor differences only noticeable upon very close inspection). The adjoining arms to these are also possible replacements and show evidence as having been reattached. This was likely a result of them having been previously removed so that the candelabra could be flush against a wall. The bronze overall is well-cast and crisp, and has several areas of dirt, pitting and discoloration owing to age and atmospheric conditions, much of which could be remedied by a good clean. The marble is free of any significant repair, but one or two small chips have been reinstated, there are several very minor chips and frets to the edges, and scratches to the bases.
