These elegant candelabra feature four foliate branches, each terminating in a beautifully cast candle cup shaped as an unfolding blossom.
The design is characterized by exuberant asymmetry, flowing movement, and intricate naturalistic details—hallmarks of the Rococo and Baroque revival styles. The sweeping arms emerge from organic, swirling bases that appear to grow upward in fluid, vine-like forms. The gilt bronze surfaces display warm, refined patination, enhancing the depth and dimensionality of the elaborate sculptural motifs.
