Pair of Neoclassical Style Bronze Candelabra Table Lamps

A pair of highly decorative table lamps exhibiting Neoclassical and Gothic Revival influences. Constructed primarily from cast bronze or brass, these lamps feature a central shaft with bamboo-like segmentation, rising from an ornate tripod base with scrolled feet and foliate motifs. Each lamp possesses a multi-tiered structure: a mid-section cluster of six scrolling arms supporting faux-candle sleeves, topped by a secondary lighting cluster featuring three standard light sockets directed outward. The finials are particularly distinctive, depicting winged creatures, possibly griffins or gargoyles, perched atop a globe. The metalwork shows a rich, aged dark brown patina with significant verdigris and oxidation, particularly on the candle sleeves and sockets. The wiring appears to be mid-20th-century vintage with plastic cords, suggesting a previous electrification of earlier 19th-century style candelabra bodies. Condition issues include a visible tilt in the vertical alignment of the right lamp, substantial surface wear, grime accumulation, and mismatched or missing socket components. These pieces demonstrate high-quality casting with intricate detailing on the base and finials, likely dating their original form to the late 19th or early 20th century.
