Available by private inquiry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA pair of Loius XVI style cut amethyst glass and bronze four light candelabra. The square-section, tapered and fluted amethyst glass column springs from a foliate ferrule above the beaded and scalloped-edged base to support a cluster of four flaring arms, ending in glass bobeches, all hallmarks of high neoclassical French design. The whole is topped with an urn and flame final. The bronze mounts retain their original ruddy aged patina. These objects date from a time when electric light itself was a rare luxury; the addition of electricity to an already luxurious composition of bronze and glass was a distinguishing enhancement in the eyes of the maker and eventual owner. Electrified candelabra however, were a short-lived phenomenon as the greater beauty of live candle flame won out over the novelty of electric light, especially as electric light became more widespread and less the exclusive preserve of the wealthy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHistorical works from the Archive are reproduced selectively through the Remains workshop, with pricing and lead times determined according to the scope and complexity of the original work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Existing Antique Finish","offer_id":47923986464939,"sku":null,"price":1234567.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0252\/6815\/8546\/files\/louis-xiv-amethyst-and-bronze-candelabra-z08623-034241.jpg?v=1790116212","url":"https:\/\/remains.com\/products\/louis-xiv-amethyst-and-bronze-candelabra-z08623","provider":"Remains Lighting Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
