About the Item
A very fine and Rare 19th century Franco-Russian neoclassical revival style ormolu mounted white alabaster eight-light chandelier, possibly a design by Félix Chopin (French, 1813-1892). The ovoid carved alabaster plafonnier bowl, fitted with an ormolu decorative finial/rosette with a royal Fleur-de-lis design and four interior lights, surmounted with four-pairs of finely chased ormolu scrolled twin-light candelabra lights, each flanked on both sides with allegorical ormolu laurel branches and fitted with later frosted-glass flame shades; all suspended from a square ormolu canopy, centered with an acorn, by four ornamental gilt-bronze chains. Bearing spurious unknown and unverified stamped markings. Circa possibly Saint Petersburg, Russia, 1890.
Félix Chopin (1813-1892) was a French bronze designer, the son of the Parisian fondeur Julien Chopin. He moved to St. Petersburg in 1838. Around 1841 he acquired the workshop of Alexander Guérin were he mainly designed and manufactured lighting fixtures, including chandeliers, candelabras, table lamps and torcheres. Chopin designed a chandelier for The Vladimir Hall, in the Grand Kremlin Palace, in Moscow and also designed a chandelier of the Tsarevich's in the Peterhof Palace in 1850, another chandelier for the Marble Palace in St. Petersburg (1849) and the palace of Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolaevich (1855-86) (ibid p. 168). He favored the 'French Rococo' style which gave him the freedom to experiment with exuberant and whimsical designs for Russian designers and marketplace, as well as for the Russian nobility.
Chopin designed several art pieces with Eugene Lanceray. For example, they designed a sculpture of a horse, which is now in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
