19th Century F. Barbedienne Bronze Champlevé Enamel Candlesticks
About the Item
A fine pair of champlevé enamel candlesticks in a chinoiserie style by Ferdinand Barbedienne (1810 - 1892), made in Paris ca.1880. Signed "F. Barbedienne"
They are an example of the medieval champlevé technique and a representative of the rebirth of enamel, a true technical innovation of this parisian maker know for their precision. These luxury objects were made for daily use and decorated the finest houses.
Ferdinand Barbedienne started his career as a dealer in wallpaper in Paris. In 1838 he went into partnership with Achille Collas (1795-1859), who had just invented a machine to create miniature bronze replicas of statues. Together they started a business selling miniatures of antique statues from museums all over Europe, thus democratising art and making it more accessible to households. From 1843 they extended their scope by reproducing the work of living artists and also diversified by making enamelled household objects. Barbedienne’s atelier created sculptures, clocks and bronze mounts of the highest quality and his works were shown at numerous international exhibitions of the period, where he won multiple awards. Among these was the noteworthy Grande Médaille d'Honneur, which Barbedienne won in Paris in 1855.
With the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian war in 1870 the firm briefly had to switch to cannon founding owing to the shortage of metals but resumed business afterwards.

The tripod base in the shape of lions' paws is surmounted by a collar formed of aquatic vegetation where a salamander wanders.
