195: A PAIR OF NAPOLEON III GILT BRONZE CANDELABRA

An eight light candelabra pair with richly ornamented elliptical reverse breakfront plinth base raised on square bracket and toupee feet, the volute-flanked and laurel-hung square tapping standard draped in acanthus supporting a fluted and beaded twin handled urn-shaped central light surrounded by scrolling rope-twisted and leaf-capped branches interspersed with unfurling star burst medallions and terminating in campagna form candle cups. Measure 27 inches each.
The condition is very good overall with the exception of one top cup which has a break at the threads and is disconnected.
