Craftsmanship & Detail

This impressive candelabra showcases the decorative opulence associated with the finest late 19th and early 20th century French bronzework. The natural variation within the lapis lazuli column and the detailed ormolu castings highlight the quality and character of the piece — the kind of combination of precious stone and gilt bronze that defines the most ambitious decorative objects of the period. An outstanding centrepiece equally at home in a formal dining room, on a console in an entrance hall, or flanking a drawing room mantelpiece.
