Pair of Louis XIV two-light girandole candlesticks, in bronze, girandole with straight sockets, octagonal shaft mounted on a base with finely chiseled cut sides with a stylized plant motif, from the early 18th century.
These candlesticks are in their original condition and will need to be cleaned.
Please note: some shocks, dirt and wear from time, see photos.

* Girandoles appeared around 1660, a time when people began to divide the light by multiplying the sources with a large number of candles. This term covers two different objects, one was the upper and removable part of a candelabra including the axis and the arms of light that could be planted in the socket of a torch, the other was a candlestick with several branches. (Cf. Candlesticks and candlesticks by Bernard Mahot).
