pair of french bronze candlesticks, in the louis xvi style and period. Their design features a pyramidal square base from which a stag-shaped arm extends, supporting a single candle holder at the end.
for some authors, the louis xvi style has a distinctly "feminine" character, and some even suggest it should have been named after marie antoinette. It contrasts with the louis xv style in its simplicity, emphasizing the rigor of geometric forms and straight lines, an inspiration drawn directly from classical architecture. It is characterized by lightness, harmony, and proportion, eschewing the heaviness and excess of the styles that followed. It stands out as a more discreet and elegant style than its predecessor.
