Empire Candelabrum “Winged Victory” in Gilded Bronze - Two Arms, Marble Base - H. 31,9 cm

A winged Victory on a sphere, holding out two torches as candle arms.

Dressed in a long belted gown, the goddess extends both arms, the torches ending in sockets with drip pans. Placed in pairs either side of a mantel clock or mirror she creates classic Empire symmetry, and on a festive table she adds a golden accent.

Craftsmanship

The cast bronze is gilded, and sockets and drip pans carry fine embossed bands of ornament. Below the sphere comes a round shaft with lozenge decoration on a square base of brown-ochre marble, raised on four small gilded feet.

Care

Clean the gilding and marble only with a soft dry cloth, no polishes. Lift cooled wax gently with a wooden spatula, and never leave burning candles unattended.
