View AllPair of Tall Empire silver plate Candelabras by JG Galle - early 19th century
By Gérard-Jean Galle
Located in GRENOBLE, FR
Rare pair of silver plate bronze candelabras, early 19th century production (Empire period).
Beautiful Louis XVI style model, elegant proportions, 2 to 3 lights each (you can turn the center piece over to get a third light).
They are composed of 17 independent parts each (the more there are, the higher the quality).
The bottom part looks exactly like an ormolu pair of candlesticks exhibited at chateau de Fontainebleau, listed in a book dedicated to bronze items that came into the castle under Emperor Napoleon's reign (last picture, the left candlestick). This books testifies that the ormolu pair has probably been delivered there by Claude Galle in 1807.
Our pair is a variant of this pair of candlesticks :
- silver plate instead of gilt bronze
- the candelabra part on top
