I am writing to enquire about the following item which I saw on the Adrian Alan website: "A Pair of Imari Porcelain Eleven-Light Candelabra on Giltwood Bases"
A Large Pair of Napoléon III Gilt-Bronze Mounted Imari Porcelain Eleven-Light Candelabra on Giltwood Bases.
The candelabra are surmounted by eleven foliate branches, each with a corona drip pan and cylindrical nozzle. The candelabra each have a waisted slender neck headed by a floral rim. The bulbous body is flanked to each side by a ram's head that is supported by an acanthus and foliate stem. The body is surrounded by three putti holding each others' hands and they stand on a stepped spreading triform base with acanthus frieze.
