About the Item

An Important Pair of Patinated & Gilt bronze Figural Candelabra By Denière of Paris & Henri Picard Modelled by Carrier-Belleuse (1824-1887) Constructed from patinated and gilt bronze, in the Louis XIV manner popularised by Jean le Pautre, the figural candelabra representing a man and a woman, distinguished by their dress, on pierced bronze bases, supporting a canopy of 9 arms with rams heads and foliate bobèches. Stamped several times H Picard and signed Denière underneath the base. French, circa 1865 A nearly identical pair were exhibited by the bronzier Denière at the 1862 London International Exhibition, and illustrated in Waring's celebrated catalogue 'Masterpieces of Industrial Art & Sculpture" on plate 276. Henri Picard, a notable fondeur and doreur, is recorded as working in Paris from 1831 to 1864, from 6 rue Jarente and later at 10 rue de la Perle. Their work was highly regarded by the Emperor Napoleon the Third, and they supplied furniture to his apartments in Fontainebleu, now on exhibit in the Louvre.
