The Neoclassical style, popular in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, emphasized symmetry and detailed motifs inspired by ancient Greek and Roman art.

Candelabras were not just for light but also a symbol of wealth and sophistication, gracing dining tables and mantels in affluent households. The green patina visible on some parts of the brass is a natural sign of aging, known as verdigris, and speaks to the item's genuine vintage nature and long history.Measurements & Condition:
