The contrasting blackened bronze and gilt ormolu surfaces highlight the finely cast details. Heavy in weight, with sharp, deeply cut features and a natural aged patina consistent with mid-19th century French craftsmanship.

These candlesticks embody the grandeur of the Empire and Renaissance Revival taste, suitable for mantel, console, or as a centerpiece accent in refined interiors.
