PAIR OF CANDELABRA WITH FIGURES OF CUPIDS FRANCE, SECOND HALF OF THE 19TH CENTURY

PAIR OF CANDELABRA WITH FIGURES OF CUPIDS FRANCE, SECOND HALF OF THE 19TH CENTURY

A decorative pair of candelabra executed in the form of cupids represents a refined example of French bronze casting from the Historicism period, strongly influenced by the Neorococo aesthetic. Each figure is cast in bronze and finished with a rich gilt surface, emphasizing the sculptural modeling, soft anatomical treatment, and high level of craftsmanship. The cupids are depicted in lively, dynamic poses with gently twisted bodies, creating a sense of movement and visual rhythm.The figures hold candle branches shaped as cornucopia, adorned with garlands of grapevines and bunches of grapes, traditional symbols of abundance, prosperity, and joy. The details are finely executed, with carefully modeled vine leaves, grapes, and textured surfaces. The candelabra are mounted on circular white marble bases, providing an elegant contrast to the warm golden tone of the gilt bronze and enhancing the ceremonial character of the ensemble.The composition is well suited to interiors inspired by the Louis XV Revival, Belle Époque, and late 19th-century eclectic taste, designed for placement on mantelpieces, consoles, or as decorative focal points in formal salon interiors.Dimensions: Height – 37.5 cm; Width – 15 cm; Depth – 5.5 cm.Material: Gilt bronze; base – white marble.Condition: Good. Gilding well preserved with minor signs of age on protruding elements. Marble bases intact, without chips or cracks.Provenance: Private European collection.
