Pair of Gilt Bronze Cherub wall light sconces

About the Item

A quality pair of Gilt Bronze wall lights cast in the form of cherubs playing trumpets from a scrolled acanthus having twin foliate scrolled candle branches surmounted by vase-shaped nozzles with gadrooned rims above a circular drip-pan with beaded border, the branches set upon elaborate foliate-wrapped scrolls extending to the lower acanthus-wrapped backplate, centred by an upright thyrsus and encircled by a pair of entwined downward facing thyrsus. Late 19th Century, after a Design by Jean Hauré for Château de St. Cloud. The design for these wall lights, is based on the 18th century model by the maître-fondeur ‘Jean Hauré’, cast by ‘Forestier’ and chased by ‘Thomire’ for the Château de St. Cloud. In their book ‘Vergoldete Bronzen’, Hans Ottomeyer and Peter Pröschel note that this model of appliqué can be ascribed to Jean Hauré who delivered near identical works to the Garde-Meuble de la Couronne in 1787. Elsewhere it is noted that models of this design were cast by Forestier (either Pierre-Auguste Forestier (1755-1835) maître-fondeur-ciseleur or his brother Étienne-Jean Forestier) and chased by the Pierre-Philippe Thomire (1751-1843) for the Château de Saint-Cloud.
