Each candlestick rises from a robust tripartite base supported by scrolling acanthus feet, leading to a tapering patinated bronze column accented with finely cast gilt bronze collars of stylized lotus petals. The fluted candle cups are surmounted by removable gilt bronze bobeches with delicately scalloped edges, designed to catch wax while enhancing the refined silhouette. The interplay of deep chocolate-brown patination and warm gilded highlights reflects the sophisticated neoclassical aesthetic popular during the Second Empire and Belle Époque, inspired by the furnishings of Napoleon I. Beautifully cast with crisp detailing and a balanced, monumental presence despite their modest scale, these candlesticks make an elegant addition to both traditional and contemporary interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Creel and Gow","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50080783761656,"sku":"dec18","price":1800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/6389\/0680\/files\/SQ3_ae56a3b2-a721-4582-89b9-2f4aa668704a.jpg?v=1785484243"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/6389\/0680\/collections\/Candles2-1.jpg?v=1777023300","url":"https:\/\/www.creelandgow.com\/collections\/candles-and-candleholders.oembed?page=2","provider":"Creel and Gow","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
