Each columnar shaft is finely decorated in the classic Delft palette of cobalt blue floral and geometric motifs, hand-painted with characteristic charm and precision. Mounted with detailed ormolu, including lion mask handles and scrolling arms, these candelabra are as opulent as they are refined.

The five-light arrangement provides both symmetry and grandeur, with delicately cast scrolling branches culminating in foliate bobeches and candle cups. Their combination of porcelain and bronze reflects the 19th century European taste for exoticism and the revival of earlier decorative arts. As a matched pair, they exemplify balance and decorative versatility, suited equally for dining rooms, mantels, or sideboards.

Both candelabra remain in nice antique condition, consistent with age and normal use. The porcelain is sound with vivid coloration, and the mounts display a mellow gilt surface with expected wear. Together, they make an impressive decorative statement, blending Dutch ceramic tradition with French-inspired bronze craftsmanship. 23h x 8w x 8d See less
