In silvered bronze, these candelabras feature rich rocaille decoration. The stems, delimited by a gadrooned knot at the top and bottom, are baluster-shaped, the circular feet are doucine and contoured, the binnacles are vase-shaped, all adorned with scrolls and shells and engraved with flowers and leaves inside reserves delimited by curves and counter-curves. The upper part is made up of three sinuous, plant-like light arms, while the binnacles and their bobeches are made of cut-out leaves. Dating from the mid-nineteenth century, these fine objects show slight traces of wear on the protruding parts, while the chasing and engraving attest to the excellence of the craftsman who produced them.
