Life Size Orientalist Figurative Bronze Torchiere
About the Item
Our extraordinary patinated bronze torchiere depicting a female slave comes from the firm of Lacarrière Frères & Delatours. Signed "Lacarrière Freres & Delatours", "Paris 1880". Fitted for electricity in the late nineteenth century, but currently in need of sockets and wiring. Provenance: Rochelle Sepenuk, New York, NY.
The firm of Auguste Lacarrière sent exhibits to the the first International Exhibition in London in 1851. At that time they seem to have occupied two Paris addresses, 9 rue St Elizabeth and 55 rue Meslay, as well as having another outlet in Limoges. They are recorded as showing "specimens of lustres, sconces, chandeliers, medallions, etc..". By the 1862 Exhibition they were only recorded at the Sainte Elizabeth address and showed, "appareils à gaz de fonte, de zinc et de bronze." Nevertheless, their exhibit was highly praised and the business, now called A. Lacarrière, Père et Fils et Cie, received a medal for good design and fabrication.
Ms. Sepenuk was famous around the world for her extraordinary collection of artwork, particularly sculpture.
