Pair of Louis XV Style Eight-Light Candelabra, Attributed to Victor Paillard

About the Item

A Pair of Louis XV Style Gilt-Bronze Eight-Light Candelabra, Attributed to Victor Paillard. Each exuberantly modelled in the high rococo style with playful putti clambering to pluck bunches of grapes from a tree. The scrolled and pierced branches with perched birds and fruiting vine. Each branch terminating in a leaf cast nozzle and drip pan. The scrolled rocaille bases hung with fruit and grapes. These impressive candelabra are a lively interpretation of the Louis XV Style, dating to the mid-19th century revival of Napoléon III's Second Empire period. They can be attributed to the Parisian bronze-maker Victor Paillard (1805-1886) whose display at the 1851 Great Exhibition in London included 'statuettes, candelabra, vases and other objects.' These candelabra relate to a similar pair by Paillard, with clock en suite which comprise a garniture de cheminée, in the Grand Salon at the hôtel du ministre des Affaires étrangères, at 37, quai d'Orsay, Paris. France, Circa 1860.

Pair of Empire Six-Light Candelabra Attributed to Escalier De Cristal circa 1819
By L'Escalier de Cristal
Located in Brighton, West Sussex
A remarkable and highly important pair of Empire gilt-bronze and cut-crystal six-light candelabra attributed to Escalier De Cristal De Paris. French, circa 1819. This exceptional pair of candelabra can almost certainly be attributed to the workshops of l'Escalier de Cristal de Paris. They relate in particular to a dressing table and chair, now in the collection of the Louvre, which formed part of a toilette suite that was exhibited by L'Escalier de Cristal at the 1819 Paris exhibition of the Produits de l'industrie. The present candelabra may very likely have been made as part of this suite. In 'Baccarat: La Legende du Cristal', it states: "A l'Exposition des produits de l'industrie française de 1819, Mme Désarnaud présente une toilette, une cheminée, deux grands candélabres, deux tables, une grande pendule et plusieurs vases, en cristal et bronze...
