About the Item

A Fine Pair of Early 19th Century French Grand Tour Bronze and Siena Marble Tazzas of Interesting Design French Circa 1830 These beautiful tazzas stand on round bronze bases, cast with flowers and foliage. It is unusual to find decoration on the base of pieces of this sort so this is noteworthy. The stems of the tazzas are fluted, leading to outspreading mushrooming collars with incised geometric decoration. The base of the bowls feature relatively low relief gadrooning and the rims are cast with fine leaf work and beading. The fine scrolling handles have leafy surfaces but are relatively unadorned, giving these pieces an attractive pared-back aesthetic. The tazzas are mounted on double plinth bases of fine Siena marble with distinctive white and brown veining. The lower plinth is mounted with additional bronze leafwork which is particularly nicely executed and very attractive. The quality of the bronzes and their casting suggests a French origin for these pieces, made for the burgeoning market for items in the antique taste at the beginning of the 19th century. The original owner may have been French or the tazzas may have been designed for export-with pieces of this quality it is hard to tell as they are certainly not tourist pieces in the modern sense of the word. These are pieces that were designed for connoisseurs to be displayed in their homes as demonstrations of their taste and learning. The bronzes have acquired a particularly fine patination and surface. In the famous collection of Regency period works of art at Hinton Ampner in Hampshire, the collector Ralph Dutton acquired a number of tazzas, principally from the London art trade in the mid-20th century. Amongst these pieces are two examples which correspond closely to our pair in style and quality.

By Pierre-Philippe Thomire

Located in Benington, Herts

A pair of exceptionally elegant and important late Empire five-light figural candelabra ‘A la Victoire’ in gilt-bronze, attributed to Pierre-Philippe Thomire, after a design by Charles Percier. Imposing size at 81cm in height. French Paris c.1820 Superbly cast, in the Neo-Classical style, the five scrolling foliate candle branches enclosing central sconces issuing from a circular wreath supported by the winged figure of Victory (Nike), wearing diaphanous robes gathered by a sash above a long underskirt splaying out from above her ankles, with beautifully feathered wings flowing behind her as she looks straight ahead. Each figure standing on one foot, the other bent, resting on a plain sphere over a reeded palmette-cast baluster pedestal raised on square plinth. Wonderful colour and patina, pierced for electricity, old inventory label to the underside. We are delighted to have been able to acquire these important candelabra as rarely does one get the opportunity to purchase items by P P Thomire...
