About the Item
Pair of candelabras in bronze and bronze signed Henry Cahieux (1825-1854) and Ferdinand Barbedienne. The shaft in the shape of vase with two handles is decorated with birds among branches, from which escape four arms of light in gilded bronze topped by a wader. The whole rests on a square base made of griotte Marble finished by four claw feet.
Henry Cahieux (1825-1854) was the chief decorator of the bronze art manufacturer Ferdinand Barbedienne. Although he died too young from illness, he had a brilliant career ahead of him, as shown by his works in the Greek style exhibited at the Salons of 1850 and 1853. In 1855, a year after his death, his lamps won a Medal of Honour at the Barbedienne stand at the Paris World Fair.
Ferdinand Barbedienne (1810-1892) was the founder and director of one of the most important art foundries of the second half of the 19th century; renowned for his castings of ancient and modern sculptures, exhibited in the greatest museums of Europe, but also for his original bronzes, designed in his workshops, or in collaboration with renowned sculptors such as Barrias, Clésinger or Carrier-Belleuse. Barbedienne is known for the exemplary quality of its bronzes, which have been rewarded at several International Exhibitions (two large medals at the London Exhibition in 1851, a medal of honour at the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1855, medals in three different classes at the Universal Exhibition in London in 1862, etc.), which enables him to receive numerous official orders. Ferdinand Barbedienne was named Officer of the Legion of Honour in 1867, then Commander in 1878.

Pair of Empire Bronze Three Branched Candelabras
By Percier & Fontaine
Located in Paris, FR
Impressive pair of gilt and sculpted bronze candelabras with three branches. The stem of each candelabrum is a patinated bronze form of the winged goddess, Victory, who holds a gilt bronze torch in each of her hands. Her head is topped with a gilt bronze vase that transforms into the candelabra branches, which is embellished with griffins and rosettes. At the top of each candelabrum is a peacock standing on a globe, symbolizing the sun and immortality. Victory is standing on a cruciform-shaped base, which has a winged cupid on two sides and a caduceus on the other two sides. The intertwined snakes of the caduceus are a symbol of the Greek god Hermes (or the Roman god Mercury) and is a symbol of peace, eloquence and negotiation. Empire period. Perfect condition.
Our model is inspired by the projects of Charles Percier and Franc¸ois-Leonard Fontaine, famous architects of the Emperor. Their most important work, entitled Recueil de decorations inte´rieurs (Collection of interior decorations), was published in France at the, end of the 19th century. The winged Victories, caduceus and griffins are some of the motifs present in this piece that demonstrate the adoption of Percier and Fontaine’s decorative...
