(pair) Louis XV style ormolu two-light candelabra, each fitted with a Meissen style porcelain parrot perched on a tree stump, within vining branches of porcelain blossoms, on a pierced rocaille base, both parrots with blue crossed swords mark near lower edge, approx 33"h, 17"w, 10"d, 28lbs total 

03.17.25: In my opinion regarding LOT 3257: I note that the candelabra are presently intact and stand sturdy, all elements appearing securely joined, including the finials which can screw off for transit purposes, the ormolu having typical light tonal variation associated with patination, soft mellowing and rubs, and minor pitting and spotting, close visual and UV light examinations of the porcelain reveals a few minute fleabite chips to edges of petal, which are typical and commensurate with use, some of the flowers having some very minor iron pitting, I do not currently observe evidence of hairlines or fractures upon UV light examination
