A pair of three-armed candelabra with putti d'après Jean-Louis Prieur

This pair of three-armed candelabra rests on a circular base adorned with three inverted corbels, encircled by a laurel wreath. On this base, three motifs in very shallow relief are set within quadrangular cartouches arranged between each corbel. The first depicts a krater with Greek-style handles, from which wisps of smoke rise. The second depicts a sun with powerful rays, reflected on a circular surface resting on the ground amidst the grass, possibly evoking a mirror. The third, finally, shows a trophy composed of arrows of various shapes.

Two patinated bronze putti stand on the gilded bronze plinth. Positioned hip to hip, they support the shaft of the candelabrum, from which the three light arms extend. A drapery, starting from the base of the shaft, delicately covers them.

The shaft rises from a hexagonal, fluted base, surmounted by a vase adorned with leaves, from which emerge the three light arms as well as a plant motif reminiscent of a fleur-de-lis. The arms are decorated with acanthus leaves and beaded friezes, whilst the candle holders feature laurel toruses and various ornamental motifs.
