Each lamp takes the form of a three-arm candelabra, beautifully combining classical ornament with charming figural decoration and the luxurious appearance of finely gilded bronze.
Each lamp features a graceful sculptural maiden dressed in period attire, standing upon a finely detailed footed bronze base and holding a decorative basket in each hand. Rising from the figure are three elegantly scrolling candelabra arms, creating a balanced and symmetrical composition reminiscent of traditional French lighting designs. The richly gilt surface enhances the intricate details of the figures, arms, and bases while providing a warm, sophisticated appearance.
Each lamp measures approximately 10 inches high, 7 inches wide, and 4 inches deep. The accompanying round linen/silk shades measure approximately 7 inches high, 14 inches in diameter, and 4 inches across the top. Their compact yet elegant proportions make the pair particularly versatile for placement on a console, side table, commode, bedroom nightstands, or a pair of occasional tables.
The lamps are in great working condition and require no special light bulbs. Their combination of sculptural figural decoration, classical Louis XVI-inspired design, gilt bronze construction, and elegant proportions makes them particularly attractive examples of French decorative lighting from the 19th century.
