A Pair French Louis XV Style Gilt-Bronze Candelabra, After André-Charles Boulle

About the Item

A Pair of French Louis XV Style Gilt-Bronze Seven-Light Candelabra, in the French Régence and Empire flavor, after the model by André Charles Boulle and sons. Each with a central acanthus-cast nozzle and drip-pan supported by a concave-sided triangular platform decorated with masks and issuing scrolling arms terminating in ram's heads surmounted by gadrooned drip pans and acanthus-cast baluster nozzles, the shaft with a twisted and fluted urn raised on a fluted baluster-form support cast with acanthus, raised upon a concave-sided triangular base fitted with three recumbent sphinxes linked by lambrequins, supported by tapered and fluted feet. Circa: Second-Half 20th Century. André-Charles Boulle (11 November 1642 – 29 February 1732) has been credited as the source of this model of candelabra (‘girandoles à sphinx et têtes de beliers’) by Jean Nérée Ronfort - see ‘André-Charles Boulle: die Bronzearbeiten und seine Werkstatt im Louvre’ in Ottomeyer, Pröschel et al., Vergoldete Bronzen, Munich, 1986, Vol. II, pp. 459-520. Ronfort further states that the design used by Boulle, in turn, derives from the work of Jean Bérain and that two versions are known with either four or five candle branches. Height: 26 1/4 inches (66.7 cm) Width: 14 inches (35.6 cm) Triangular base width: 10 1/2 inches (26.7 cm)
