Pair 19th C. French Dore Bronze Mtd. Agate, Rock Crystal, & Amethyst Candelabra
About the Item
A magnificent pair of 19th Century Louis XVI Style French dore bronze mounted hand carved agate, rock crystal, and amethyst candelabra. The dore bronze mounts are truly impressive on this pair of candelabra. Each section of the mounts are hand-chased and hand-chiseled in two-tone matte and burnished gold. The dore bronze tops are acorn finials, which are sandwiched between two rock crystal prisms with acanthus leaf dore bronze holders. Each candelabra body is hand carved and hand-polished from a large and very clear piece of natural rock crystal, which has been mounted to multiple dore bronze candle arms. The long dore bronze arms are very unusual, they swirl from the body to the candle holders and are each burnished and hand-chassed. The candle holders are decorated with wreaths in relief which are matte and burnished creating a 3-dimentional effect to the lights. The bobeches are equally beautiful and are cast in the form of acanthus leaves with grapes which hang off the sides. Decorated on each bobeche are clear rock crystal and amethyst crystals which dangle around the circumference of the bobeches. Dore bronze acanthus leaf arms provide an area where large rock crystal prisms hang and decorate the rest of the candelabra. Each candelabrum is mounted on a gorgeous hand carved and hand-polished banded agate stone base, which sits on 8 dore bronze feet. After examining the incredible quality and craftsmanship of these candelabra, specifically the dore bronze work, we have come to the conclusion that these are attributed to the work of either Alfred Beurdeley, Henry Dasson, or another incredible bronzier of the mid 19th Century.

- Marvelous Pair of 19th C. French Ormolu Four Arm Candelabras, Signed P. CanauxBy Paul Canaux and Company 1Located in New York, NYA 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...Category
