CA1138 After the Antique Neo-Pompeian Napoleon III Candlebra

An eccentric and unusual pair of 19th century French Neo-Pompeian Napoleon III patinated and gilt bronze three branch candelabra, after the antique. With classical maidens as finials and the central stems cast as scrolling vines growing from a lotus bud, zoomorphic bird legs standing on turtles, high relief greek heads in the manner of Thomas Hope to the base and a central figure of an owl, with acanthus leaf feet. Chains are a later replacement. Circa 1870.
