ANTIQUE PAIR OF CANDELABRAS " DON'T SAY IT " IN SILVERED BRONZE - END OF 19TH CENTURY - FRENCH
BASE : 16X16 cm - TOTAL HEIGHT : 77 cm
EACH WINGED ANGEL CARRIES 6 LIGHTS . THE ANGEL PUTS HIS FOREFINGER TO HIS MOUTH AND ON THE STAND IS WRITTEN "DON'T SAY IT ";
THESE CANDELABBRAS VERY DECORATIVE BECAUSE OF THEIR HEIGHT AND THEIR CREATIVITY CAN BE ATTRIBUTED TO THE SILVERSMITH CHRISTOFLE VERY PRODUCTIVE AT THE END OF THE 19TH CENTURY.
OTHERWISE, THE SIMILARITY WITH OTHER WORKS OF CHRISTOFLE CAN REINFORCE THIS SUPPOSITION.
