The warm brass, octagonal stepped bases and balanced baluster stems feel formal enough for a dining table, but casual enough for a kitchen sideboard, library shelf or mantel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnown in French as flambeaux, these antique brass candlesticks likely date from the mid-18th century, around 1740 to 1760. The pair has stayed together for nearly three centuries, which gives them a presence a single candlestick simply does not have.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe construction speaks to their period. The stems were cast in sections, with visible seams from the older method of making brass candlesticks before later machine-spun production became common. The faceted candle cups, knopped stems and stepped bases carry the Louis XV shape beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brass has aged to a soft golden tone, with darker oxidation settled into the recesses and gentle wear from generations of use. Set with simple tapers on a dinner table or placed on either side of a console, they bring history, symmetry and quiet French elegance in a way new candlesticks never can.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54862408221015,"sku":"DEC-137","price":843.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/antique-french-brass-candlesticks-pair-louis-xv-2.jpg?v=1788383285","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/products\/antique-french-brass-candlesticks-pair-louis-xv-circa-1750","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
