About the Item

A French 19th century Louis XV style gilt bronze six-light figural chandelier. The elongated gilt bronze frame with six scrolled candle-arms (now electrified) surmounted with ribbons, vines, three ram-heads, rosettes, fruits, tassels and ending with an acorn finial, after a model by Pierre Gouthie`re (1732-1813), Paris, circa 1890-1900. Pierre Gouthie`re (French, 1732-1813) was the son of a saddle maker, Pierre Gouthie`re 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. Gouthie`re also supplied works to the Comte d'Artois, the Marquis de Marigny, and the marchand-mercier Dominique Daguerre, among others. Gouthie`re 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. Measures: Height 36 inches (91.5 cm) Width 23 1/4 inches (59 cm). Lot 10838.
