Pair of French Seven-Light Gilt Bronze Candelabra "Aux Canephores"

This magnificent, signed pair of seven-light candelabra from the Restoration period embodies the exceptional Parisian bronze artistry of the early 19th century. Crafted from olive-patinated and fire-gilded bronze (ormolu) set upon a marble base with paw feet, they depict classical canephorae with virtuoso drapery, supporting the candle nozzle decorated with palmette and acanthus motifs. The engraving "LVS. ROBERT" on the bronze ring confirms the authorship of the renowned Parisian bronzier Louis-Valentin-Elias Robert, lending this museum-quality piece of high collector value its secure attribution.
