CLAUDE LALANNE | Paire of candelabras

2010 gilt patinated and galvanised bronze, with thirteen light branches Each monogrammed C.L., stamped LALANNE, dated 2010 and numbered 2/8 A and 2/8 B on the base

Very good overall condition The gilt bronze presents with some very light tarnishing overall, some very light oxidation in the recessed areas and a few very slightly darker oxidation stains scattered. The galvanised bronze elements presents with some dust, some slight discoloration and some scattered tiny oxidation stains. One butterfly presents with a scuff revealing the original colour of the bronze. One butterfly presents with a crack, most likely inherent to the making. The beak of one bird is broken (and the broken piece is missing). All consistent with age and use.
