Each piece stands just under four inches tall, cast in brass and finished with gilding that has softened over generations. They likely date to the early to mid 19th century, consistent with French neoclassical production of that period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA square stepped plinth carries a vertically fluted column, capped by a composite capital with four corner volutes around a central palmette. The casting holds up beautifully more than a century and a half later. The cusped quatrefoil bobeche was cast as one piece with the column.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese antique gilded brass candlesticks have aged naturally. The gilt has worn back in places to reveal warm brass beneath, and there is green verdigris settled into the recesses where wax once pooled. Light a pair of cream tapers in these antique French column candlesticks and the whole room softens. It's like magic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52997437784407,"sku":"DEC-001","price":385.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/vintage-louis-xvi-style-brass-pillar-candlestick-set-2.jpg?v=1773324288","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/products\/classic-french-louis-xvi-inspired-brass-desk-candlestick-set-with-architectural-column-design","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
