This 19th century gilded bronze tieback is a magnificent example of the elegance of the Louis XVI style. Designed with a refined sense of detail, it features a sumptuous decoration that reflects the neoclassical aesthetic in vogue at the time.
In the center, a finely chiseled torch rises up, a symbol of light and knowledge, characteristic of Louis XVI motifs. The torch is surrounded by delicately carved garlands of flowers, creating a subtle contrast between the vertical rigidity of the torch and the sinuous softness of the flowers. The garlands, typical of this style, are composed of various flowers and foliage, finely worked to imitate the texture and lightness of natural elements.
The original gilding is still present, well preserved despite the years, offering a warm sheen that enhances the meticulous details of the sculpture. The high-quality gilded bronze has a light patina that testifies to its age, while preserving its original lustre. A true objet d'art, this tieback perfectly embodies the refinement and richness of the Louis XVI style, combining symbolic and decorative elements to create a piece that is both functional and aesthetically remarkable.
