These could easily be museum pieces. The fine detail work, like flowers, on all of the basket ovals is exquisite. Andlestick or lighting device often composed of several lights. Girandoles came into use about the second half of the 17th century, and were commonly made and used in pairs. The Girandoles under consideration are antique and are attributed to the Philadelphia-based lighting fixture company Cornelius and Company fl.

Cornelius was much celebrated for its artistically inspired and highly detailed lighting fixtures counting among its prominent commissions the massive chandelier for the Hall of Representatives, Nashville, Tennessee. A girandole has always been, comparatively speaking, a luxurious appliance for lighting, and in the great 18th century period of French House Decoration, the famous Ciseleurs designed some exceedingly beautiful examples. A great variety of metals have been used for the purpose.

Sometimes, as in the case of candlesticks, girandoles have been made in hardwoods. Bronze has been a very frequent medium, but for table use silver was the favorite material. Girandoles, or lighting devices, have also been attached to looking glasses and furniture. Some popular mirrors, especially the convex style, and some large dressing mirrors of the 19th century were known as "girandoles" because of the lighting devices mounted to their sides.
