Pair of Empire Period 5 light Figural Bronze Candelabra
About the Item
A pair of early 19th century French gilt bronze and patinated bronze figural empire period five lights candelabra. Each candelabrum is formed as a ormolu cornucopia of scrolled branches enriched with very fine hand chiseled leaf motifs and rosettes holding five lights with drip pans, held aloft by a Classical style winged figure.
The Candelabra take the form of a full length male and female statues draped in swathed clothing. The female figure is the Greek goddess Diana and the male one, Apollo. Diana is depicted holding a bow in her hand, whilst the male figure holds a torch. Each winged figure is extraordinary modelled and beautifully contrast the different finishes of gilt bronze. Both figures are raised on a ball above a ovoid plinth which featured fluted details with laurel and acanthus leaves motifs, which are further set atop square-form bases.
The Empire Period (1800-1830) saw the revival of classical ideas and influences, primarily in the decorative arts with Napoleon's court adopting classical designs discovered in the archaeological excavations of Pompeii and Herculaneum early in the Nineteenth Century. The ancient forms of the classical Greeks and Romans, discovered in these ruins, gained a new popularity during the Empire period
