A pair of silver candelabras with five arms of light and a central point. They stand on a circular quadripod base featuring openwork Corinthian column tops. An imitation-leather medallion engraved with a number of interlaced letters, framed by two antique-style women, enhances the chased repoussé decoration of foliage motifs. The shaft features two eclectic-style women in cast silver, wearing antique-style gowns and neo-Renaissance hairstyles, their arms raised, seemingly carrying the girandoles (removable by a screw thread). Complete with their bobèches, they are chased with falling leaves, a beaded border and alternating lanceolate leaves and flowers. Minerve hallmark. No apparent silversmith. France, third quarter of the 19th century. Gross weight: 10833 g - height: 58.5 cm Old restorations, one bobèche broken.
