Rare and beautiful pair of finely chiseled and mercury-gilded bronze candlesticks.


The circular bases decorated with guillochés and palmette friezes; the spindle-shaped shafts decorated with three busts of Egyptian women wearing Nemes* hairstyles and rings with palmette friezes are finished with three lion paws; they are topped with flower garland sockets and are topped with their original bobeches with water leaf friezes.

High quality chasing and mercury gilding with a dual matte and shiny patina.

Very good condition.
