This exquisite pair of Charles X candlesticks exemplifies the refinement and opulence of early 19th-century French design. Crafted during the reign of Charles X (1824–1830), these candlesticks are a harmonious blend of gilded bronze and fine crystal, showcasing the elegant neoclassical style that defined the period.
Each candlestick features a richly gilded bronze base adorned with intricate detailing, including finely cast acanthus leaves, classical motifs, and fluted stems. The bases are balanced by tall, tapered crystal columns, meticulously cut to refract light and create a dazzling display. The crystal exhibits exceptional clarity, indicative of the high-quality craftsmanship of the era.
The candleholders are designed with scalloped rims and delicate detailing, perfectly complementing the opulent yet restrained aesthetic. The juxtaposition of the warm, radiant gold with the cool, shimmering crystal creates a timeless visual appeal.
Dimensions: Measures: 12" h x 5" w.
These candlesticks are outstanding examples of Charles X design, embodying the period's emphasis on luxury and classicism. Perfect for collectors of antique French decorative arts or as stunning focal points in any refined interior, they are both functional and works of art in their own right.
