介绍（中）	在十八世纪，镀金青铜广泛用于不同类型的照明，从立烛台和烛台到悬挂的枝形吊灯，灯笼和壁灯。对金属的追逐，冲孔和哑光，或光滑和抛光，将通过烛光从不同表面反射的不同方式赋予物体活力。这些单独铸造的烛台的手臂全心全意地拥抱洛可可风格，其滚动的树枝，植物形式和叶状滴水盘（bobeches）。它们印有加冕的 C，这是 1745 年 2 月至 1749 年 2 月期间使用的税号。这些臂可能并不总是与烛台的螺旋茎相关联，烛台没有类似的税号并且处于过渡风格。重叠硬币图案的吊坠带在新古典主义风格中成为时尚图案，因此这些茎很可能比 1749 年晚一点。
介绍（英）	In the eighteenth century, gilt bronze was used extensively for different types of lighting ranging from standing candlesticks and candelabra to hanging chandeliers, lanterns and wall lights. The chasing of the metal, punched and matted, or smooth and burnished, would have lend the objects vitality through the varying ways that the candlelight would be reflected off the differently finished surfaces. The arms of these candelabra, which were separately cast, whole-heartedly embrace the Rococo style with their scrolling branches, vegetal forms and leaf-like drip pans (bobeches). They are stamped with the crowned C, a tax mark that was in use between February 1745 and February 1749. These arms may not always have been associated with the spiraling stems of the candelabra which do not bear a similar tax mark and are in a transitional style. The pendant band of overlapping coin motifs became a fashionable motif during the neoclassical style, and for that reason it is likely that these stems were made a bit later than 1749.
