Refined pair of Louis XV silver candlesticks, bearing the Torretta hallmark with the date 1773, testifying to the excellent Genoese silversmith production of the mid-18th century. The modeling is enhanced by a particularly sharp hammered definition, which highlights the flowing profile of the stem and the rich articulation of the shaped base.
The importance of the hallmark – a rare document of the Genoese silversmith guild in the late Baroque period – confers further historical value on the piece, precisely situating it within the city's production context and attesting to its executive quality. The condition is excellent, with intact surfaces and a full readability of the decorative details.
