Pair of finely chiseled and gilded bronze empire candelabras, the winged victories in bronze with chocolate patina.
Resting on a square base, a molded cylindrical base ending in a ball receives a winged victory who holds a bouquet of 3 lights at arm's length.
The work and quality of execution of these candelabra reflect the perfection achieved under the empire in the manufacture of these works of art.
The mercury gilding reveals an alternation between the matte parts and the polished and shiny parts.
Work from the empire period, early 19th century.
