Candelabrum (2) - Brass - Neo-Gothics

Candelabrum (2) - Brass - Neo-Gothics

They are two candlesticks that clearly embody that solemn, balanced Louis XVI, but here transformed into lamps during the twentieth century, a common practice when seeking to give new life to high-quality liturgical or domestic pieces. The metal — brass worked firmly and then aged with the passage of time — preserves a warm presence, slightly golden, that enhances every line of the original design. The tripod base, so characteristic of altar candelabras, provides a sense of almost architectural stability. It is a tripod that does not merely support but defines the piece: three legs that open with elegance, sometimes claw- or scroll-shaped, and that evoke the solemnity of objects destined for sacred spaces. On that base rises a vertical shaft, well proportioned, with classical moldings and a decorative pace that responds to the neoclassical taste of Louis XVI style: order, symmetry, ornamental restraint. The conversion into lamps, already carried out in the twentieth century, respects the original structure and allows the piece to continue fulfilling a lighting function, but now adapted to modern life. That blend of antiquity and adaptation lends them a singular character: they remain candelabras in spirit, but with a new utility that does not betray their origin. Tracked shipping and careful packaging.
