Elegant antique-style candlestick combining a richly decorated porcelain column with ornate gilt metal mounts.
The hand-painted porcelain shaft features romantic courtly figures framed by raised gilded ornament, with vivid cobalt blue and soft pink grounds inspired by celebrated Sèvres decorative traditions. The warm gilded base and drip tray create a refined neoclassical silhouette.
A sophisticated accent for console tables, mantels, bedside décor, or as part of a curated pair. Its proportions make it highly versatile while still offering strong decorative presence.
The metal mounts have been professionally refreshed in a bronze-gold tone, presenting beautifully and enhancing the overall visual impact.
A charming collector’s object with classic French taste.

(The photographs form an integral part of the description.)
A well-placed antique does more than decorate a room - it gives it authorship. Against a contemporary interior, older objects introduce texture, balance and a sense of permanence that cannot be replicated by newly made pieces alone.
This is the principle behind the LÜRON selection. We look for works that carry historical character with ease, and that feel as convincing in a Paris apartment as they do in a more modern architectural setting.
