About the Item

This impressive pair of candelabra features two Classically modelled maidens, holding above their head an extravagant fruit-filled golden array, which each issue a trio of candle-branches with corolla nozzles, scrolled foliage and cockerel head terminals. The central of each splendid cornucopia is a serpent-entwined fluted shaft, topped with a pine-cone finial, and each maiden, left in the underlying bronze in delightful contrast with their golden loads, stands upon a small griotte marble pedestal. This pair is taken from an earlier model by Rémond, and one of the original pair has been displayed at the Musée du Louvre (OA 5246-5247), after being transferred from the Mobilier National in 1901, previously furnishing the Château de Pau.

Two Early 19th Century French Empire Gilt Bronze Candelabra
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...
