About the Item

A Magnificent Pair of 19 Century Ormolu & Chinese Blue Poudré Porcelain Candelabra, Attributed to Caldwell. Each candelabrum consists of a cylindrical porcelain vase with a slightly flared neck and a rounded base. The porcelain surface has a consistent blue poudré glaze with a subtle mottled texture. The vases are mounted on gilt bronze bases with scrolling feet and an openwork structure. Two gilt bronze candle arms extend symmetrically from the upper section of each vase, curving outward and terminating in black porcelain bobeches with gilt rims. The arms are attached to the vases with gilt bronze mounts that include a central band encircling the body, secured by a ribbon-tied laurel garland. Additional gilt bronze mounts in the form of acanthus leaves and satyr masks are affixed at the sides. The covers of the vases feature gilt bronze mounts with scrolling edges and are topped with flame-form finials. The candelabra are designed for use with candles, with cylindrical sockets integrated into the bobeches. The bases have a stepped structure with a combination of curved and angular elements, providing stability. The gilt bronze surfaces have a polished finish, contrasting with the matte texture of the blue poudré porcelain. New York, Circa: 1890

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...
