About the Item

PAIR OF EMPIRE GILT AND PATINATED BRONZE THREE-LIGHT CANDELABRA Paris, France ca. 1815-35 raised on antico verde marble plinths 25 1/2" H x 9" W x 4 1/2" D A very finely chiseled pair of candelabra from the post-Napoleonic French Restauration period, they feature matched female figurals in Neoclassical garment gingerly holding a pair of long vases in each arm. From these vessels spring curling branches with serrated acanthus leaves and bunches of grapes curling outward to raise candle wells on either side and rising upward to join together lifting a swollen baluster with ram's head masks on either side below the single upper candle well. The figures stand on a gilt bronze plinth resting on a beautifully patinated antico verde marble mounted with masks on the front and jugs on either side. The base is a reeded cove-molded rim over a straight squared bronze plinth. Note the remarkable quality of the chiseling and the brilliant fire gilding. A very fine and remarkably well-preserved pair. Condition: Old branch repair. One replaced screw in back of figure. Mostly original fire gilding. Wear to gilding on plinth beneath figures and base beneath marble. Trace wear to gilding throughout, tarnish and discolorations. Some regilded elements. Carefully cleaned and waxed.

Located in London, GB
These magnificent candelabra were cast entirely of gilt bronze in the French Empire period of the early 19th century. Each candelabrum is formed as a cornucopia of scrolled branches holding four lights with drip pans, set on a single torch-form stem, held aloft by a Classical style figure. The figures, one male and one female, are shown draped in swathed clothing, with the male figure depicted holding a quill in his other hand, whilst the female figure clutches a delicate bouquet of flowers. The figures stand upon circular bases, set onto ovoid vases which featured fluted details and central bands of laurel leaf motifs. The vases themselves stand on undulating roundels formed of acanthus leaves, which are further set atop square-form plinths. Classically influenced works were popular during the French Empire period, when the Emperor Napoleon I sought to create a place in history for France alongside the ancient dynasties...
