Pair Regency Period Bronzed Giltwood Torchères
About the Item
A fine and rare pair of English Regency period torchères, or stands (or candle stands) in the manner of Thomas Hope. Circa 1810.
Both are raised on tapering simulated-bronze column supports with circular tops and fluted gilt collars, on concave-sided triform bases with winged-panther mask monopodia. The column bases issue from spreading, gilded, carved lotuses.
These antique torcheres might also be referred to as columns, ornamental stands, candle sticks, or candelabra.
In superb condition throughout.

The pair of stands we are offering here correspond closely to the pair in the Faringdon Collection (see above). Watkin and Hewat-Jaboor state; ‘’A ‘Roman’ stand of this precise design, perhaps an imaginative variation on one published by Visconti*, is illustrated in ‘Household Furniture’, plate L, number 2… Hope also owned several classical Roman candelabra himself, and these too might have provided inspiration for the present model” (See Waywell, ‘The Lever and Hope Sculptures’ (1986): pls. 16 & 17.
