Pair of candlesticks; France, 19th century. Chiseled and burnished bronze with porcelain enameled body. Measurements: 87 x 43 x 40 cm (x2). Pair formed by two candlesticks of seven lights each, all of them made in bronze combined with porcelain in the Sèvres style. Both have the same design that starts from a round base that sits on four legs in the shape of a feline claw. The bronze piece ends with a decoration of stylized and synthetic leaves. From the base there are bronze putti-shaped appliqués, which give way to the handles. The central body of periform format is made of porcelain enameled in blue. This type of work was very common in the interior decoration of upper-class homes and palaces in the 19th century. Used to decorate rooms by placing them on tables, chests of drawers, etc., they were highly appreciated both by the nobility and by a certain part of the bourgeoisie (those who aspired to emulate the aristocracy, above all) and were made in practically all the important artistic schools of the time. However, the most valued creations were the French ones for several reasons. First, the quality of their design, always inspired by the artistic innovations of the time and avoiding excessive repetition, with a wide variety of models drawn from different sources (Greek sculptures, mythological themes, contemporary works, etc.). Secondly, for the quality of the materials used: high quality porcelain, well-crafted bronzes of good casting and excellent gilding (techniques that the French government itself always had very controlled so as not to lower their quality or, as a result, the category of their production), metals, sometimes carved and polychromed wood, etc.
