{"product_id":"antique-french-brass-candlestick-empire-palmette-bands-early-19th-century","title":"Empire Palmette Brass Candlestick | Antique French Bougeoir","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Empire brass candlestick has a quiet formality that feels very French. The tapered column, rounded foot and crisp palmette bands give it structure and elegance, while the warm brass keeps it easy to place on a mantel, writing desk, console or dining table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKnown in French as a bougeoir en laiton, this antique brass candlestick likely dates from the early 19th century, around 1810 to 1830. The design carries the Empire and Restauration taste beautifully, with a fluted candle cup, gadrooned collars and stamped palmette ornament circling both the neck and the foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe underside shows raw sand-cast metal and old dark oxidation, a lovely sign of period manufacture rather than a smooth modern copy. The polished brass surface has softened with age, giving the piece a warm golden tone with gentle wear from two centuries of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUsed with a single taper, it adds height, light and history without needing a matching pair. It is the kind of small antique French candlestick that brings refinement to a room in a quiet, confident way.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54862390198615,"sku":"DEC-136","price":243.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/antique-french-brass-candlestick-empire-palmette-2.jpg?v=1788382929","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/products\/antique-french-brass-candlestick-empire-palmette-bands-early-19th-century","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
