Cleveland Museum of Art

Pair of candle brackets by Jean Charles Delafosse. Two gold-colored wall-mounted candle holders are shown side by side. Each has a long vertical plate with a decorative top and bottom. The top features a small finial and two small square handles on either side. A curved arm extends from each side, with a candle cup at the end. The arms are decorated with acanthus leaves. The vertical plate has a lion's head near the center. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
