About the Item
A very finely chased French 19th Century Louis XV Style gilt and steel six-light figural chandelier after a model by Pierre Gouthière (French, 1732-1813). The finely chase gilt bronze body surmounted with six scrolled and twisted candle-arms with floral wreaths, acanthus and Royal ram heads. The center steel urn surmounted with gilt bronze female masks and a decorative acorn. The center support steel and gilt bronze stem shaft with arrow-tails crowned with a floral ring with cut-glass and gilt bronze strings. The top canopy with a gilt bronze draped and tassels design and a floral rosette, Paris, circa 1880.
Pierre Gouthière (French, 1732-1813) was the son of a saddle maker, Pierre Gouthière rose to become the most famous Parisian bronze chaser and gilder of the late 1700s, receiving commissions from some of the leading connoisseurs of his day. Like many successful apprentices, he married the widow of his first employer and took over his establishment. Success came quickly, and in November 1767 he received the title of doreur du roi (Gilder to the King) from Louis XV. Gouthière also supplied works to the Comte d'Artois, the Marquis de Marigny, and the marchand-mercier Dominique Daguerre, among others.
Gouthière was a master of chasing and invented a new type of gilding that left a matte finish. He combined polished with matte finishes to create varied effects on the surfaces of his bronzes. He made many types of objects, including furniture mounts, ornaments for mantelpieces and coaches, and mounts for porcelain or marble vases.
