About the Item

A rare pair of candle-holders in chiseled and gilt bronze in Louis XVI / 18th century style, signed by Maison Marnyhac and manufactured in the late 19th century. Rich ornamentation in the Louis XVI's "antique" style with vines, Greek patterns and finely chiseled ramheads, on a base with vine and acanthus leaves decoration. Two tone gilding (matte and glossy) in perfect condition (re-worked by gilding master Alain Bellino in Nice). The bobèches are original. Signed / carved “maison marnyhac – 1 rue de la peace” on the base of the column. A detailed certificate will be provided to the buyer. Maison Marnyhac is the trade name of the 'Société des Marbres et Bronzes Artistiques' founded by Charles de Marnyhac in Paris located on Avenue de l'Opéra before moving to 1, rue de la Paix. It competed with the most great houses of the time, notably Barbedienne, and the quality of its productions was rewarded at the Universal Exhibitions of 1867 and 1878 where it obtained medals. Its reputation was such that the house opened an exhibition in 1875 in London. "In summary , and I conclude with this assessment for which I am ready to assume full responsibility, the exhibition at the Maison de Marnyhac clearly demonstrated to me that Paris has two Barbediennes, that is to say two industrialists of art such as The whole of Europe cannot oppose us with equals. This demonstration was well worth a medal of honor; what do you think?" Emile de Bergerat, Masterpieces of Art at the 1878 Universal Exhibition, Paris, L. Baschet, 1878, p. 188.
