A French Napoléon III ormolu-mounted and silvered bronze pair of lamps Very finely chiseled design with Lion's head holding medallions, acanthus leaves, godrons, arabesques and rosaces, with two detached handles, Resting on onyx bases Original gilding and silvered patina, oil lamp system circa 1860 Attributed to Victor Paillard (1805-1886) In 1828, Victor Paillard joined Jean-François Denière, bronzier and chaser, and stared to learn while attending evening classes with Chenavard and the chiseler Martinot. In 1835, Paillard founded his own company of art bronzes and furnishings at 3 rue de la Perle. He first made small bronzes items (paperweight, paper clip, etc.) then extended his production to clocks, groups, statuettes, lamps, chandeliers and candelabras around 1836 when he entered the "Réunion des Fabricants". He exhibited for the first time at the Exhibition of Industrial Products in 1839 where he presented two large candelabras, a clock with the figure of the Virgin with the goldfinch and a small caryatid clock in ground gold, the latter after a Feuchère model. The Jury then awarded him a silver medal just like at the 1844 exhibition. On this occasion, the critics praised Victor Paillard: “Good taste, respect for the work of the master sculptor, perfect execution, make Victor Paillard a remarkable manufacturer and an artist of merit ”. Indeed, Victor Paillard is a true artist as he is the author of a number of models, many of which represent young children and loves which he then performs in bronze. Such was his fame that he was appointed President of the Reunion des Fabricants de Bronze. At the 1849 Exhibition he won the Gold Medal. For the 1851 Universal Exhibition in London, he directed the casting of the colossal statue of seated Queen Victoria, executed in bronze and zinc after Dantan the Younger. Subsequently, his production took a new turn: he was at the head of two hundred workers and began to produce more than four hundred models. In 1855, he was appointed member of the Jury of the 1855 Universal Exhibition in Paris. His fame then transcended borders as he was called to Belgium, Austria and especially Russia where he worked for Baron Alexander von Stieglitz. He also received several official orders, notably for the decoration of the Foreign Affairs Palace at the Quai d'Orsay: he made the clock, the bronzes for the fireplace and the four chandeliers with chimeras and groups of children at the Salon de l'Horloge. , the large Renaissance style chandelier...
