This pair of Italian candelabra features a combination of gilt bronze and marble, reflecting refined craftsmanship. Each candelabrum is designed as a multi-arm fixture, supported by an urn-shaped marble body adorned with gilt bronze mounts. The marble exhibits a variegated coloration with green, orange, and cream tones, creating a striking visual contrast with the gilded elements.
The candelabra arms extend outward in an elaborate scrolling form, with detailed acanthus leaves and classical motifs. Each arm supports a candle holder with fluted detailing, while the central stem rises above with an additional candle holder. The urn-shaped body is further embellished with gilt bronze figural handles depicting classical female busts, extending downward to form elongated supports that connect to draped floral swags.
The base consists of a stepped marble plinth resting on a gilt bronze platform with sculpted paw feet and decorative appliqués. The elaborate gilt bronze mounts feature neoclassical motifs, including laurel wreaths and foliate patterns, indicative of high-quality Italian craftsmanship. This pair of candelabra exemplifies the luxurious decorative arts tradition, where marble and bronze were skillfully combined to create grand lighting fixtures for stately interiors.
