About the Item

A Monumental Pair of French 19th Century Cut Crystal and Dore Bronze Multi-Arm Candelabra with Rooster Heads. This ornate, extravagant pair of monumental bronze candelabras exemplify French empire taste and the style of King Louis XVI. Standing on an ormolu mounted base with a hand-carved crystal stem and elaborate draping arm pieces, the candelabra are both detailed and grandiose. The square base layers ormolu with crystal, and then another addition of an ormolu chalice connecting the stem to the crystal mount. The ormolu fixtures feature acanthus leaves and rooster heads, bringing in two multiple elements of neoclassical imagery to make a display of French imperial taste. On the crystal stem, the craftsman carved diamond-shaped facets that cover the entire surface of the material. The pattern gives the candelabra contrasting shapes—orderly rows of quadrilaterals and sprawling floral fixtures. Another curious contrast occurs between the stately appearance of the candelabra with the presence of the rooster heads atop the candle attachments. France, Circa: 1800's

Marvelous Pair of 19th C. French Ormolu Four Arm Candelabras, Signed P. Canaux
By Paul Canaux and Company 1
Located in New York, NY
A Marvelous Pair of 19th century French Ormolu Four-Arm Candelabras, Signed Paul Canaux. Paul Canaux was an incredible jeweler and silversmith, and would produce his pieces in 30 rue des Francs-Bourgeois in Paris. He originally worked for the great silversmith and plater Joseph Mégemond. Following his career with Mégemond on August 9th, 1888 he placed his own hallmark. He was a made an array of products, which included silverware, cutlery, tea sets, centerpieces, candelabras as well as many other silver and gilt-bronze objects of the highest quality. His maker’s hallmark was struck in 1892 and they changed the name to "Paul Canaux et Cie". In the 5 Generations of our business, these are some of the greatest candelabras we have ever had the pleasure of adding to our collection. This is truly an exceptional pair of candelabras. They were produced by P. Canaux, a master silversmith who made the most wonderful and outstanding pieces of silver and ormolu. These ormolu candelabras are no exception with a variety of hand-chased and hand-chiseled motifs which elevate these pieces to a different level of quality and craftsmanship. The top most finial of each candelabra is absolutely marvelous with a phoenix emerging from a cauldron of flames. Flanked on either end of each candelabra are two satyrs each holding up a candelabra arm with superior quality, each wrinkle in their faces and hair on their heads is visible. Between the candelabras is a basket of ormolu cast fruits, leaves, and vines. They are truly breathtaking and in high-relief against the main body of the candelabras. The other two candelabra arms are held up by Nereus, the Greek GD of the sea. He is known for his half-man, half-dolphin appearance with a majestic and highly detailed pair of angelic wings...
