Bastille Candelabra for 7 candles.

Piece created in 1989, to celebrate the bicentennial of the french revolution.
The french revolution erupted in 1789 in a tense political and social climate.
The day of the taking of the bastille prison then became the french national holiday.
Two centuries later, to commemorate this event, Christofle designed a majestic sixarmed candelabra whose complexity of execution makes it a masterly piece.
Chased then polished for over 50 hours, the candle rings and the stem enhance the seeming simplicity of its line.
Painstaking and timeconsuming work make this candelabra a genuine historical testimony and a remarkable piece.
