Pair of Large Louis XVI Style Gilt Bronze Mounted Fluorspar Candelabra

About the Item

Pair of large Louis XVI style gilt bronze mounted fluorspar candelabra French, 19th Century Measures: Height 61cm, width 35cm, depth 34cm Crafted in fine Neoclassical and Louis XVI style, these beautiful candelabra are made from the rare and prized mineral fluorspar, also known as fluorite, in a delightful grass green colour that is complemented with ornate ormolu mounts. The vases consist of vase shaped stems with ormolu mounts, of flowers, and five gilt branches also in the shape of flowers. The beautiful natural arrangement of the impurities within the fluorite of the bodies of the vases give them an exceptional decorative pattern. The gilt mounts are in Louis XVI style, as is evident from the square corners on the handles, and the arched colonnade frieze around the neck, and the ribbons of wreath across the front. One mount has at one point been replaced with onyx.

Pair of Large Louis XV Style Gilt-Bronze and Samson Porcelain Candelabra

A pair of large Louis XV style gilt-bronze and Samson porcelain candelabra French, Late 19th century Measures: Height 68cm, width 54cm, depth 36cm Crafted with great artistry and skill by the Samson porcelain manufactory in late nineteenth century France, these exceptional candelabra feature superb full-length porcelain subjects set within elaborate gilt-bronze lighting branches. Made in the Louis XV style, each pair, symmetrical to each other in design, consists of five-lighting branches, a mount for the porcelain, and elegantly sculpted bases. The porcelain figures are that of a man and woman playing musical instruments, wistfully gazing towards each other while they stroll and play; he plays a variation on the bagpipes, probably the French cabrette, while she plays a large guitar-like stringed instrument. They stand 68cm in height and bear the Samson mark to the underside. Beautiful pieces, the porcelain figures of which can stand separately, they are wonderful examples of French antique...
