A fine set of three Directoire style silvered bronze figural eight light candelabras French, circa 1865-70

modelled as figural representations of Africa, Asia and America, each standing before a palm tree issuing eight candelarms.

Each with scratches and tarnishing to silvering. All three with a hole to the base on the right side of the palm tree mostly likely lacking a decoration to this place. America with a break and loss to one palm leaf around the palm stem. All branches with traces of cracks. Africa has three branches with large traces of re-soldered repairs. Traces of new hardware (screws) on all candelabras. India has one palm branch lacking to the back. One three-leaf cast part is detached and available (which may come from another similar candelabra).
