Pair of Bronze French Louis XVI Style Figural Candelabra After Clodion

About the Item

A pair of Clodion inspired figural candelabra of the highest quality gilt and patinated chased bronze. Each show a standing classically draped semi-nude maiden with a hoof footed infant satyr standing behind and pulling on the maidens' robes for attention. One of the maidens is an allegory to bacchante evident from the grape bunches in her hair and a jug of spilt wine at her feet. The other maiden is presumably also allegorical. Both maidens are holding aloft a gilded cornucopia from which stem three swirling candle arms around a central stem topped by a flame. Both are set on a gilded intricately chased circular footed base.

  • Palatial Pair of French Empire Style Candelabra after Thomire
    By Pierre-Philippe Thomire
    Located in Vancouver, British Columbia
    The candelabra are of gilt and patinated bronze of very high quality. They are basically deisgned/constructed in three sections. The middle section; the patinated central vases have twin handles in the form of decorative winged cupids, the front of the vase has a large gilded bronze mount of a winged cupid riding a lion/dolphin. The 'lid' of the vase supports seven swirling candle arms around a central stem topped with a flame. The elaborate base of the vase rests on a further very elaborate rectangular base with winged lions at each corner. It is hard to imagine a more elaborate and grandiose example of the French Empire decorative...
