Pair of Empire bronze candlesticks, French School, 19th century. Gilt and patinated bronze. Dimensions: 27 x 11 x 11 cm. A pair of single-arm candlesticks made in the Empire style, with an architectural structure of clean lines and balanced geometric proportions. The cylindrical bodies rise from stepped, square bases decorated with fine engraved borders, while the candle holders display classical profiles inspired by models from Greco-Roman antiquity. The composition stands out for its ornamental restraint and the harmony between verticality and volumetric stability. These pieces reflect the Neoclassical taste that spread during the Napoleonic period and its enduring influence on 19th-century European decorative arts, characterized by monumental elegance and the archaeological reinterpretation of classical forms. 27 x 11 cm.
