Pair of French Gilt Bronze Neo Classical Candlestick Table Lamps

An exquisite pair of late nineteenth-century French table lamps exemplifies the refined elegance of the Neoclassical period. Originally designed as candlesticks, these antique lamps now blend historic sophistication with modern practicality, making them highly desirable for discerning collectors and interiors.

Origin: France
Date: Circa 1880
Material: Gilt bronze, white marble

Dimensions: Height: 30 cm (11.8 ins) plus candlestick | Diameter: 15 cm (6 ins)

Condition: Superb age-related patina with minor, expert restorations to marble.

Neoclassical design flourished in France during the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, drawing inspiration from Greco-Roman antiquity and marked by clean lines, symmetry, and dignified ornament. This pair of antique gilt bronze lamps, with their meticulous detailing and white marble bases, reflects the high standard of Parisian decorative arts of the era. Similar examples feature in renowned museum and private collections, often prized for their harmonious blend of splendour and restraint.

Notable Features:

  • Elegant gilt bronze candlesticks with intricate Neoclassical motifs.
  • Luxurious white marble bases enriched with classic gilt beaded borders.
  • Beautiful patina enhances the depth and warmth of the bronze.
  • Converted from candlesticks to table lamps, offering both historic charm and practical functionality.

The exceptional craftsmanship is evident in the crisp casting, refined finish, and attention to classical motifs—hallmarks of period French metalwork. The marble bases not only provide an understated contrast to the lustrous bronze, but also ensure remarkable stability, making these lamps ideal for everyday use or display.

Collecting value is heightened by their rarity, superior condition, and the distinction of their provenance—qualities much sought after in antique lamps. Their restrained proportions enable them to serve as striking centrepieces on console tables, desks, or bedside tables, bringing timeless style and a sense of history to any room. These table lamps will delight both seasoned collectors and admirers of refined French design.
