A fine French Charles X gilt bronze six-light candelabrum, attributed to Pierre-Philippe Thomire, ca. 1820-1830

H 55 cm 

Modelled as three putti holding aloft a basket issuing six candle arms and resting on a cylindrical plinth base, the piece reminds us one of the recent additions to the Oval Office under American president Donald Trump.

Provenance:
- An important Belgian private collection.
- Acquired from Château La Garenne Antiques, Brussels, in 1997, according to the owner's inventory notes.

Condition:
- Generally in very good condition with typical minor superficial wear and a small number of negligible small casting flaws throughout.
- One of the candle holders with a more visible casting flaw. Two of the candle holders with a very slight dent, invisible to the naked eye but noticeable when firmly inspecting.
- The loose candle holder tops somewhat bent on the inside, invisible to the spectator when mounted.
