You are viewing a gorgeous pair of French female figurines in the form of torcheres or lights – they really remind me of the great Statue of Liberty, the gift from France to the United States. They are a perfect left and right and each maiden holds aloft the light. The casting on this pair is amazing as I hope the photos illustrate, the patina has a lovely dark brown finish.
The piece is signed L Gregoire on the base near the foot (please see close up picture). Jean Louis Gregoire was a famous French sculptor who lived 1840-1890 and these have to be one of his famous works. Each figure holds aloft the frosted crystal glass flames from which the light emits. They come pre-wired so it would be easy to hook these up to a light source.
The features of the figures has been expertely sculpted and these would make for a fine addition to any interiors scheme. Check out details like the sea serpent on the base of one of them, plus their fine features and intricately textured hair. They are both offered in perfect condition ready for home use right away. We bought these from a dealer in Paris whilst on a continental buying trip.

You are viewing a pair of stunning maiden female bronze candelabras which are almost nine foot tall. They really are in impressive pair and it is difficult to know where to start when describing them such is the detail and levels of workmanship to these works of art.
The three maidens stand back to back around the central column. Cherubs sit on the base. The glass is white frosted.
We bought these from an architectural salvage company in Islington where they had bought it from a house sale where it had originally lived in the foyer of a house in Hampstead, one of the more affluent parts of London. It is a big piece – it would perhaps be suited to a large lobby or foyer. Being bronze it could also live outside. As such it would be of particular interest to interior designers. The pair are offered in perfect condition and ready for whatever use you have planned for them.
