A magnificent pair of 19th Century Louis XVI Style French dore bronze mounted hand carved agate, rock crystal, and amethyst candelabra. The dore bronze mounts are truly impressive on this pair of candelabra. Each section of the mounts are hand-chased and hand-chiseled in two-tone matte and burnished gold. The dore bronze tops are acorn finials, which are sandwiched between two rock crystal prisms with acanthus leaf dore bronze holders. Each candelabra body is hand carved and hand-polished from a large and very clear piece of natural rock crystal, which has been mounted to multiple dore bronze candle arms. The long dore bronze arms are very unusual, they swirl from the body to the candle holders and are each burnished and hand-chassed. The candle holders are decorated with wreaths in relief which are matte and burnished creating a 3-dimentional effect to the lights. The bobeches are equally beautiful and are cast in the form of acanthus leaves with grapes which hang off the sides. Decorated on each bobeche are clear rock crystal and amethyst crystals which dangle around the circumference of the bobeches. Dore bronze acanthus leaf arms provide an area where large rock crystal prisms hang and decorate the rest of the candelabra. Each candelabrum is mounted on a gorgeous hand carved and hand-polished banded agate stone base, which sits on 8 dore bronze feet. After examining the incredible quality and craftsmanship of these candelabra, specifically the dore bronze work, we have come to the conclusion that these are attributed to the work of either Alfred Beurdeley, Henry Dasson, or another incredible bronzier of the mid 19th Century.
