About the Item
A spectacular and large pair of Chinese Export rooster Louis XVI style gilt bronze-mounted candelabras. Each candelabra is centered by a large porcelain rooster, vividly modeled with red and orange plumage at the head and neck, contrasted with white and turquoise feathers along the body and wings, and further detailed with black and blue accents on the tail. The roosters are perched upon naturalistic tree-stump bases of glazed brown porcelain, raised on gilt bronze rococo-style plinths. Their upright forms serve as the focal point around which the gilt bronze candle branches extend.
The candelabra structures are composed of three candle arms each, issuing from the sides and top of the roosters. The gilt bronze branches are designed as leafy stems with acorn and oak leaf motifs, terminating in candle sockets with leafy drip pans. The sockets are fitted with imitation wax candle sleeves, shaped to resemble dripping wax. The scrolling gilt bronze bases feature lobed feet and textured panels, supporting the porcelain and bronze superstructure.
These candelabras combine Chinese Export porcelain with French gilt bronze mounts in the Louis XVI style, a pairing that became fashionable in Europe during the 18th and 19th centuries. The porcelain roosters, characteristic of Chinese export ware, were often mounted in France with elaborate gilt bronze to create decorative lighting fixtures and garnitures. The gilt bronze mounts on this pair demonstrate the refined casting and chasing typical of French work, particularly in the naturalistic treatment of oak leaves and acorns. This pairing illustrates the cultural exchange between Chinese porcelain workshops and French bronziers during the height of the chinoiserie taste.
