A pair of very finely-chiselled French gilt brass candlesticks crafted in the neo-classical style. The decoration is extremely intricate, particularly on the circular base and tulip-shaped capitals, with encircling bands of grapes and vine leaves, together with garlands of acanthus, enrobing them completely. The stems are elegantly tapering and fluted, and sit upon ornate goblet-shaped feet. These candlesticks are in excellent vintage condition, with an authentic patina from years of daily use. They would be an ideal addition to a mantlepiece or dining table, where they are sure to add a touch of timeless elegance.
