About the Item

A fine French 19th Century Louis XV Style gilt bronze seven-light figural chandelier. The elongated and ovoid gilt-bronze frame with six scrolled candle-arms (now electrified) surmounted with doves, ram-heads, vines, rosettes, fruits and tassels, centered with flambeaux light fitted with a frosted glass flame shade, suspended on tri-tassel-decorated strands centered with an ormolu hovering cherub holding onto a circular floral ring, designed after a model by Pierre Gouthière (1732-1813). Circa: Paris, 1890-1900. Pierre Gouthière (French, 1732-1813) The son of a saddle-maker, Pierre Gouthière rose to become the most famous Parisian bronze chaser and gilder of the late 1700s, receiving commissions from some of the leading connoisseurs of his day. Like many successful apprentices, he married the widow of his first employer and took over his establishment. Success came quickly, and in November 1767 he received the title of doreur du roi (Gilder to the King) from Louis XV. Gouthière also supplied works to the Comte d'Artois, the Marquis de Marigny, and the marchand-mercier Dominique Daguerre, among others. Gouthière was a master of chasing and invented a new type of gilding that left a matte finish. He combined polished with matte finishes to create varied effects on the surfaces of his bronzes. He made many types of objects, including furniture mounts, ornaments for mantelpieces and coaches, and mounts for porcelain or marble vases. Height: 33 1/2 inches (85.1 cm) Width: 22 1/2 inches (57.2 cm) Depth: 19 inches (48.3 cm).
