Pair of Louis XVI candelabras

Pair of candelabras with three arms of light in the form of a vase decorated with tulips and a lily. The baluster vase is composed of a blue glass body, a pedestal, two twisted handles and a gilt bronze neck. Three of the tulip branches form the arms of light. In the center, the last branch is a fleur de lys in full bloom.

As early as 1760, the first lily candelabras appeared. The branches are sometimes held by putti or female figures. Here, a glass baluster vase holds the flowers. The shape of the vase in the antique style, the play between the contrasting materials (glass, bronze, marble), the use of white Carrara marble allow us to date this pair to the Louis XVI period and more precisely to the 1780s.
