This pair of French Empire-style candelabra is cast in bronze with a dark patina and gilt accents. Each candelabrum stands on a square base and rises through a tiered column to a female figure who raises a two-arm candle branch, in the manner of the caryatid bearers that ran through Empire and Greek-revival decoration.

The crown carries a palmette motif, the stylised fan of palm leaves that is one of the most common ornaments in neoclassical art. The contrast of the dark patinated figure against the gilt column and candle arms is a typical Empire device. Sold as a matched pair.

The pair works on a mantel, sideboard or dining table where symmetry matters, and brings a measured, period note to a classical interior. A collector's pair for anyone drawn to Empire-style bronze.
