Pair of Late 19th Century French Bronze Candelabras on Black Marble Bases

A dramatic and finely cast pair of late 19th century French bronze candelabras, executed in rich dark patinated bronze and mounted on black marble bases. Each candelabrum rises from a triangular black marble plinth supported by sculptural bronze animal-form feet, lending architectural presence and weight. The bases are adorned with naturalistic and mythological elements, including finely modeled animal heads and foliate ornamentation, reflecting the romantic and eclectic character of the late Second Empire period. The central stem features a textured shaft embellished with applied vine and leaf detailing, rising to a multi-arm configuration supporting six candle cups. The scrolling arms are elegantly shaped, terminating in classical-style drip pans and candle holders. The overall silhouette is balanced yet dynamic, combining naturalistic motifs with formal symmetry. Dimensions: 26” H x 10.5” W x 10.5” D
