About the Item
A sensational and extremely high quality French 19th century Louis XV st. Belle Époque period ormolu candelabras lamps, signed Picard. Each lamp is raised by a striking and most decorative socle shaped support with beautiful pierced scrolled foliate movements. At the centers are beautiful intricately detailed maidens sitting on wonderfully executed rock designs amidst charming water flora. Each maiden is draped in elegant flowing garments and wears their hair in an updo. The maiden to the left is holding a richly chased swaging floral garland with her other hand in the air while the maiden to the right is seemingly feeding a lovely owl perched next to her. Powerful scrolled foliate movements branch upwards the elegantly scrolled arms. Each arm is adorned with acanthus leaves and displays richly chased flowers and most attractive floral candle cups with fine hammered designs. All original gilt throughout.

Henri Picard
Henri Picard was a 19th-century gilder who is said to have graced Paris with his stunning furniture and decor from 1831 to 1864. His bronze pieces included exquisitely detailed candelabras, ornate clocks and sculptural table lamps.
Each item cast and gilded by the talented Picard represented the marriage of function and beauty and is a notable example of Napoleon III-style design. Developing from 1852–70, Napoleon III furniture was plush and ornate, matching the fashion for masked balls and socializing in salons.
Picard was particularly known for his artistry — his body of work includes expertly cast gilt bronze (ormolu) mounts for a range of porcelain vessels produced by Sèvres, a maker of exemplary European ceramics for hundreds of years. Picard collaborated with many designers of his day and worked for a firm called Defreville. And while Picard received numerous commissions, his most notable was designing decorative objects for Napoleon III. The pieces are still displayed at the Napoleon III Apartments in the Louvre Museum, Paris.
Picard also designed mantel clocks for the prestigious French clock-making company Raingo Frères. The manufacturer’s clocks are also on display in the Napoleon III Apartments.
