About the Item
Pair of candlesticks. Metal, enamel. Limoges, France, 19th century.
They present faults.
Pair of metal candlesticks decorated with polychrome enamel on the outside, each with an octagonal base that begins with a step and rises gently to the axis, which has discs and mouldings between jar-shaped shapes, ending in tubular candlesticks with a mouth that extends outwards in a smooth moulding. Throughout the piece, there are plant decorations in relief with a clear classicist influence, interspersed with medallions of male profiles in grisaille on the upper part and roundels on the base. Likewise, scrolls and plant, geometric and architectural motifs without relief can be seen, in a gold tone. These tondos of the base show a heraldic shield crowned and supported by two quadruped animals, and three-quarter figurative elements, identified with the name of the character represented in Latin. Thus, we see “Cephale”, “Lavrore” and “Adonis”. In Greek mythology, Cephalus was the lover of Eos, goddess of dawn, condemned by Aphrodite to only love mortals. Adonis was the lover of Aphrodite, eternally young and symbolizing death and the annual renewal of vegetation, and whose nature was tied to the calendar. This pair of candlesticks is closely inspired by a candlestick that the Louvre Museum in Paris (where it is preserved) considers to have been made in the mid-16th century in Paris or Sèvres (France) and attributed with doubt to the master enameller Julien Robillard (active ca. 1850-1880). The inspiration in models and motifs of the Italian Renaissance is clear. ·
