A refined pair of French brass candlesticks by the Parisian firm Lacarrière, Delatour & Cie, stamped at the base.
Elegant in form with beautifully turned stems and wide, weighted drip trays, these candlesticks strike that rare balance between practicality and restraint. Designed to protect fine surfaces while elevating the table, they were made to be used — not just admired.
The warm brass has aged naturally over time, showing gentle surface wear consistent with age and use, adding depth and character without detracting from their clean lines. Their proportions feel intentional and architectural, making them just as striking styled alone as they are flanking a dining table, console, or mantel.
A timeless French staple — understated, grounded, and endlessly versatile.
"Lacarrière established a factory in 1825 at 3 bis, rue Sainte-Elisabeth. He specialized and excelled in the application of bronze in lighting fixtures. He received an honorable mention in 1834, a bronze medal in 1839, and a silver medal in 1844 for a large candelabra with a triangular base, prefiguring the one presented at the Universal Exhibition in London in 1862. He also participated in the design of the chandelier for the Queen’s Theatre in London. From 1851 to 1870, he changed his company name several times. Lacarrière, Delatour et Cie (active in 1870) cast and chiseled the majority of the lampposts, candelabras and chandeliers of the Paris Opera, including that of the hall, designed by Charles Garnier, the architect of the Opera, and modeled by Corboz. At the Universal Exhibition of 1878, the catalog wrote that “their exhibition demonstrates great skill and very pure taste in lighting bronzes intended for private homes.” In 1900, the company named Lacarrière et Cie supplied the fourteen monumental candelabras of the Pont Alexandre III, in Paris; a true tour de force at the time, since the largest of these pieces weighed 667 kg, for a height of 4.50 m and a diameter of 4.70 m."
