About the Item

Here is a stunning pair of finely chiseled, bronze candlesticks from the mid-19th century. These bronze candelabras, with a body resembling a tree trunk adorned with oak leaves and acorns, feature four light arms supported by a central bear. Their base is decorated with bears in relief, following a natural and wild theme. These candlesticks are attributed to Christophe Fratin, a renowned 19th-century animal sculptor whose work was widely recognized during his time. This pair of candlesticks is an excellent example of 19th-century decorative art, combining intricate chisel work and rich materials for a result that is both understated and majestic. Christophe Fratin, a celebrated animal sculptor, exhibited at the Paris Salon from 1831 to 1842 and from 1850 to 1862, as well as at the Great Exhibition in London in 1851. His masterpiece "Eagles and Prey" has been on display in Central Park, New York, since 1863. His works can be found in prestigious locations such as the Château de Dampierre, the castles of Sans-Souci and Babelsberg in Germany, the Saint Petersburg park, and the Visconti Courtyard at the Louvre.
