Pair of 19th Century French Gilt Bronze Candlesticks with Ram’s Head and Musical Motif Decoration
A richly detailed pair of 19th century French gilt bronze candlesticks, exemplifying the opulence of neoclassical design. Each piece is supported by a tripod base adorned with finely cast allegorical musical instruments and garlands, symbolizing harmony and the arts. The tapered columns are embellished with bold ram’s head masks, from which floral swags cascade down to the hoofed feet. The upper section is crowned with acanthus-leaf capitals and circular candle cups. The warm, luminous patina of the original fire-gilded bronze accentuates the sculptural depth of the intricate motifs, making this pair a commanding decorative accent in both classical and eclectic interiors.
