About the Item
A magnificent large pair of five-light doré bronze and patinated bronze Empire period candelabra, attributed to Claude Galle made in the early 1800s. This pair of candelabra are set on Verde Antico marble base with ormolu mounts held up by gorgeous winged lions. The ormolu arms and bases have been finely cast and hand-chiseled with exceptional detail and meticulous craftsmanship. Each candle holder is being held up by intricately hand-chiseled dragon majestically holding their heads up towards the candles. Between the four arms are three flaming phoenixes upholding the final candlestick. Found on the patinated bronze are beautifully placed acanthus leaves flowing upward to the top of the candles. The ormolu is of the finest quality with the doré bronze exceptionally handcrafted and the patina prodigiously hand-painted on.
This pair of candelabra was made in France in the early 1800s and is attributed to the work of the Parisian guilder and modeler Claude Galle. Galle had been one of the main figures at the International Exhibition in Paris in 1819 and is one of the most important casters and gilders of the 18th century and the early 1800's.

Marvelous Pair of 19th C. French Ormolu Four Arm Candelabras, Signed P. Canaux
By Paul Canaux and Company 1
Located in New York, NY
A Marvelous Pair of 19th century French Ormolu Four-Arm Candelabras, Signed Paul Canaux. Paul Canaux was an incredible jeweler and silversmith, and would produce his pieces in 30 rue des Francs-Bourgeois in Paris. He originally worked for the great silversmith and plater Joseph Mégemond. Following his career with Mégemond on August 9th, 1888 he placed his own hallmark. He was a made an array of products, which included silverware, cutlery, tea sets, centerpieces, candelabras as well as many other silver and gilt-bronze objects of the highest quality. His maker’s hallmark was struck in 1892 and they changed the name to "Paul Canaux et Cie". In the 5 Generations of our business, these are some of the greatest candelabras we have ever had the pleasure of adding to our collection.
This is truly an exceptional pair of candelabras. They were produced by P. Canaux, a master silversmith who made the most wonderful and outstanding pieces of silver and ormolu. These ormolu candelabras are no exception with a variety of hand-chased and hand-chiseled motifs which elevate these pieces to a different level of quality and craftsmanship. The top most finial of each candelabra is absolutely marvelous with a phoenix emerging from a cauldron of flames. Flanked on either end of each candelabra are two satyrs each holding up a candelabra arm with superior quality, each wrinkle in their faces and hair on their heads is visible. Between the candelabras is a basket of ormolu cast fruits, leaves, and vines. They are truly breathtaking and in high-relief against the main body of the candelabras. The other two candelabra arms are held up by Nereus, the Greek GD of the sea. He is known for his half-man, half-dolphin appearance with a majestic and highly detailed pair of angelic wings...
