A large Empire six-light candelabra, Paris, around 1810.
This is one of the finest candelabra models created during Emperor Napoleon's days. A candelabra, as well as a sculpture. Embodying victory and happiness along with the classical ideals of aesthetics. Candelabras are often in pairs, but this magnificent size stands well on its own.
To the item
A pair of Swedish Baroque pewter candlesticks.
A pair of the most magnificent pewter candlesticks in Swedish history from the period of the Swedish Empire. The sparse yet powerful Carolinian Baroque. Discreet yet occupying an entire table. The quality of the casting, as well as the condition, is outstanding.
