Every surface is a flat plane that catches the light in its own way. They are a pair with quiet authority, made for a formal table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach candlestick is made of silver-tone metal and built from octagonal sections. A stepped, canted octagonal base supports a faceted baluster stem with knopped collars, rising to an octagonal candle cup with a square drip pan. Octagonal faceted candlesticks were a hallmark of late seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century French silver, where the flat facets catch candlelight as a series of bright planes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pair is in very good vintage condition, with tarnish to the finish. Their mellow tarnish is left for the next owner to keep or brighten. Down the centre of a dining table or at each end of a mantelpiece, with tall ivory tapers, they give a room a calm, classical order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pair: two silver-tone metal octagonal candlesticks with faceted baluster stems, stepped bases and square drip pans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: Height 24.4 cm (9.6 in) each · Base width to follow — about as tall as a hardcover novel\u003cbr\u003e\nMaterial: silver-tone metal\u003cbr\u003e\nStyle-Period: Louis XIV style\u003cbr\u003e\nShipping: professionally packed, fully insured, worldwide · we handle the paperwork and pay all import duties · nothing to settle on delivery\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition: very good vintage condition; tarnish to the finish\u003cbr\u003e\nReturns: accepted within 30 days\u003cbr\u003e\nSold as a pair\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Jaspers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59638129000793,"sku":"LM-V-468","price":450.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1063\/5388\/5529\/files\/il_fullxfull.8601802730_gr4o.jpg?v=1790776762","url":"https:\/\/maisonjaspers.com\/products\/pair-of-louis-xiv-style-octagonal-94269","provider":"Maison Jaspers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
