About the Item
Magnificent Pair of Empire Gilt Bronze Candlesticks Signed Gérard-Jean Galle, Paris, 1810s
A rare and exceptionally fine pair of French Empire candlesticks in mercury-gilded bronze, signed “G.F. Galle Fecit” – the signature of Gérard-Jean Galle (1788–1846), one of the foremost bronziers of early 19th century Paris and son of the renowned Claude Galle.
These candlesticks exhibit exquisite craftsmanship and richly detailed ornamentation. The fluted shafts are crowned with finely cast floral baskets beneath the candle holders, overflowing with meticulously sculpted leaves and blossoms. The bases are decorated with stylized acanthus foliage and garlands, while the capitals feature classical motifs such as rosettes, swags, and a pierced Greco-Roman frieze.
The impressive scale and quality, together with their sublime original gilding and overall symmetry, make them stand out even among high-end Empire bronzes. The presence of the Galle signature – clearly visible on the underside – adds historical value and solid provenance.
Gérard-Jean Galle, active in Paris during the early 1800s, took over his father’s prestigious workshop on Rue Vivienne. He supplied bronzes to the French elite, including members of the aristocracy, and earned a silver medal at the 1819 Exposition de l’Industrie. Galle’s works can today be found in royal collections, including the Royal Palace in Stockholm.
