About the Item

This pair of bronze torchieres with double brown and gold patina is represented by two women in an antique draped dress, one in the left arm and the other in the right arm a seven-light candelabra. They rest on a black marble base. Upgrades to modern electricity. Sculptor: DUBOIS ET FALGUIERE Signature and stamp of the bronzier: BARBEDIENNE Height: 130 cm approx. Period: XIXth NAPOLEON III Origin: France / PARIS Founded in 1834, Maison Barbedienne, the most illustrious of art bronzes companies in France, enjoyed immense international influence for more than a century. Equipped with the revolutionary process of mechanical reduction of sculptures invented by Collas, the Barbediennes developed the industrial production of small edition bronzes. Their vast repertoire of models, from Antiquity to contemporary sculpture (edition of works by Rodin, Mercié, Dubois, Fremiet and especially Barye), responds to the taste of a burgeoning bourgeois clientele. They also meet with great success in the manufacture of art objects which have won many awards in the Universal Exhibitions and, with their notoriety, they receive orders for many public monuments.

    Lovely pair of gilt bronze candlesticks, attributed to Ferdinand Barbedienne. The tripod base in the shape of lions' paws is surmounted by a collar formed of aquatic vegetation where a salamander wanders.

A magnificent fantastic creature, guardian of this royal and symbolic fauna, half man, half animal, serving as an extinguisher, comes to magnify the whole of this sublime achievement of quality in all respects. Period: Late 19th century Dimensions: Total height: 55.5cm x width: 16cm The elephant is often seen as a symbol of strength and power. Being a large and magnificent animal, it is quite logically considered a powerful and majestic creature. His way of life, dependent on the herd, is at the origin of deep relational bonds based on loyalty, which develop the power and the will to defend others. The salamander had an amazing reputation for walking through flames. This alleged power has earned him, among other things, to be a royal symbol. With this exceptional power, the salamander was chosen by one of our most flamboyant kings, François 1er...
