Pair of French Charles X Period Ormolu and Painted Bronze Four-Light Candelabra
About the Item
A pair of French Charles X period ormolu and painted bronze four-light candelabra from the early 19th century with sculptures of the Olympian gods Apollo, god of music and Diana, goddess of hunting. Modeled after the famous antique Roman sculptures Apollo Belvedere and Diana of Versailles, they were considered the highest ideal of art during the 19th century. Apollo moves majestically forward, a bow in the right hand, his cloak disclosing a radiant a youthful physique, head turned towards Diana, her tunic clinging closely to her body, a crescent moon adorning her hair. Both are holding a quiver above their heads with a central urn-shaped candle nozzle above a lyre, an oak-leaf ring below issuing three scrolled foliate candle arms with dog mask finials and cast candle nozzle echoing the hunting activities of the twin gods. Resting on a high chased cylindrical pedestal with square plinth bases, this pair of early 19th century French ormolu and painted bronze four-light candelabra, with its classical theme and superbly detailed decoration characteristic of Charles X style, will bring utter refinement to any classical home.
