Item: Pair of Louis XVI–Style Gilt Metal & Marble Candelabra Table Lamps
Additional Description:
Elegant pair of ornate Louis XVI–style candelabra lamps, each with a gilt metal body, scrolling candle arms, urn-form candle cups, floral swags, acanthus leaves, beaded borders, fruit-and-floral garland details, and a white marble plinth base. The design has a richly neoclassical French look, with fluted column supports and decorative ormolu-style mounts. Each lamp has been electrified with a central multi-light fixture beneath a pleated fabric shade, while retaining the decorative appearance of antique candelabra.
Era:
Likely late 19th to early 20th century candelabra bases, later electrified as lamps. French Louis XVI Revival / Belle Époque style.
History:
Louis XVI Revival decorative lighting drew inspiration from late 18th-century French neoclassicism, especially fluted columns, urn forms, laurel, acanthus, beadwork, and garland motifs. Candelabra of this type were often later converted into table lamps in the 20th century, making them functional while preserving their grand salon aesthetic.
Provenance:
Likely French or Continental European origin.
Materials:
Gilt metal, likely bronze or brass/bronze alloy; white marble bases; fabric shades; later electrical components.
Dimensions:
[Insert dimensions]
Disclaimers:
Pair shows age-related patina, oxidation, rubbing to gilt finish, surface wear, and possible old repairs or later modifications consistent with electrification. Shades and wiring appear later. Buyer should have wiring inspected by a qualified electrician before use. Exact metal composition has not been professionally tested.
