This rare pair of lights, originally devotional candelabra, is a touching testament to domestic sacred art during the Second Empire (19th century, France). Crafted in bronze with a dark patina and brass, these pieces take the form of a baluster vase from which a delicate floral bouquet emerges.
The center of each piece is adorned with a bas-relief medallion depicting the face of Jesus, rendered with classical serenity. This iconographic detail transforms the decorative object into an object of contemplation, often intended at the time to adorn a private altar or a bedroom mantelpiece. The scrolled handles and the chiseling of the lanceolate leaves frame this portrait with solemn elegance.
The upper bouquet, composed of four light arms, is a feat of ironwork: the stems intertwine with blooming flowers, creating a perfect balance between the rigor of the bronze and the lightness of the floral motif. The condition is excellent. These candelabras have been electrified by a specialist for modern use, while retaining their original patina and historical character. They are no longer simply sources of light, but objects imbued with history and symbolism, perfect for an interior that blends period charm with refined elegance.
