Clock and candelabra garniture. Paris, France, second half 19th century.

About the Item

Clock and candelabra trim. Blued and gilded bronze, marble. Raingo Frères, Aaria, Clodion. Paris, France, second half of the 19th century. Working. The two candelabras follow a model highly appreciated in the 19th century of a bronze figure of a bacchante (a common figure in the procession of the classical god Bacchus) made by Claude Michel (1738- Paris, 1814), known as Clodion. This French sculptor, invited to Russia by Catherine II, established a workshop in Paris where he specialized in small format Rococo-style mythological sculpture in terracotta, stucco, etc., with such success that his works inspired numerous bronze artists to create of sculpture pieces, watches, etc. Raingo Frères is the association of the four sons of the Belgian-born watchmaker Zacharie Joseph Raingo (1775-1847), Adolphe, Charles, Denis and Dorsant, formed in 1823. During the 1860s they made important pieces for Napoleon III and his wife, which are preserved in the Louvre Museum in Paris. Thanks to their well deserved fame, they collaborated with prominent bronze artists and sculptors of their time, such as Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse and Auguste Moreau, and won a Gold Medal at the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1889.
