A pair of very large French gilt-bronze-mounted bronze and red marble candelabra 20th century

each in the form of a neo-classical female figure in drapery holding aloft a tazza issuing six scrolled candlearms supporting two tiers of four scrolled candlearms cast with acanthus and satire masks on a flowering baluster base with ribbontide fruiting swags, the base on paw feet, the inside of both tazze signed FB Paris

Really spectacular. Each marble base section with some scuffs, notably to the bombé part. The bronze is nice quality and secure. The patinated bronze female figures are good, with very minor old marks. The piece is drilled for electricity but will require re-wiring by a professional, the branches will need to be tightened up too. The red marble elements of each candelabra (the sections that each light issues from) have some old marks and scratches. The wear described is minor and can easily be fixed.
