Antique gilt bronze hand candle holder

Superb cellar rat candlestick in chiseled and sculpted gilded bronze in the shape of a peacock. Very beautiful decorative object from the 19th century (it seems to me to be the Napoleon III period). No major defects. It is of a certain age, despite a rigorous selection and description, it may have minimal traces caused by time (micro scratches from use). 21 cm wide and up to the peacock's head 7 cm high.
