A fabulous and important pair of antique French 1st period Empire patinated and two-tone matte and burnished doré bronze six-light candelabras. Each modeled with figures of Goddess Diana the Huntress and Hunting Dog Profiles. The huntress is seen with draped clothing and braided hair and is holding up a pair of candle arms. The base and candelabra arms are also gorgeously gilt and hand-chased with two-tone matte and burnished mercury gold. The upper candelabra arms are decorated with exceptionally modeled dog and phoenix masks, representative of Diana’s hunting themes. The bases are further decorated with medallions representing stags, wolves, and the Goddess herself, Diana. These are truly an exceptional pair and most probably made for a hunting castle from the period. Most importantly, is the condition which is pristine after over 200 years.
