Pair of 19th Century Louis XVI Style Ormolu, Marble and Porphyry Candelabras
About the Item
A stunning and extremely high quality true pair of French 19th century Louis XVI st. ormolu, Bleu Turquin marble, and Porphyry candelabras. Each candelabra is raised by a square Bleu Turquin marble base with concave corners and an elegant and most decorative mottled border. Above the beautifully detailed wrap around foliate ormolu band is a circular Porphyry column. The beautiful ormolu maidens are dressed in a detailed flowing drape. Each richly chased maiden holds a striking cornucopia with fine floral designs and flower buds amidst the three floral candle cups adorned with acanthus leaves. All original gilt throughout.
Porphyry was Imperial Rome’s most prestigious stone for columns, vases, and other objects. The word “porphyry” comes from the Latin word for purple, which was the color of nobility to the Romans. Porphyry is considered the Imperial Stone of the Roman Empire. In the year 18 AD, the Roman Legionnaire Caius Cominius discovered a beautiful purple stone in the eastern desert of Egypt. It was a deep purple color with flecks of larger white crystals and was perfect for carving. This porphyry quickly became the most prestigious stone for the elite of Rome and Byzantium. For centuries the Romans quarried this treasured stone at Mons Porphyrites Porphyry Mountain.
