Two Early 19th Century French Empire Gilt Bronze Candelabra
Located in London, GB
These magnificent candelabra were cast entirely of gilt bronze in the French Empire period of the early 19th century. Each candelabrum is formed as a cornucopia of scrolled branches holding four lights with drip pans, set on a single torch-form stem, held aloft by a Classical style figure.
The figures, one male and one female, are shown draped in swathed clothing, with the male figure depicted holding a quill in his other hand, whilst the female figure clutches a delicate bouquet of flowers. The figures stand upon circular bases, set onto ovoid vases which featured fluted details and central bands of laurel leaf motifs. The vases themselves stand on undulating roundels formed of acanthus leaves, which are further set atop square-form plinths.
Classically influenced works were popular during the French Empire period, when the Emperor Napoleon I sought to create a place in history for France alongside the ancient dynasties...

Located in Seaford, GB
After the Antique Vintage Marble Bust by Anthony Redmile
This exquisite After the Antique Vintage Marble Bust by Anthony Redmile depicts a regal Roman empress draped in a traditional toga, reflecting both imperial grandeur and timeless elegance. Known for his masterful blend of classical themes and contemporary craftsmanship, Anthony Redmile’s work stands as a pinnacle of decorative arts, making this bust a highly sought-after piece for collectors and interior designers alike.
Crafted from a high-quality marble composite, this bust embodies the beauty and durability of authentic stonework. The material’s polished finish enhances the lifelike detail of the sculpture, capturing the serene expression and commanding presence characteristic of ancient Roman portraiture. The empress's finely sculpted facial features, from her calm gaze to the delicate contours of her lips, exude nobility and poise.
The draped toga, symbolizing Roman dignity and imperial authority, is meticulously detailed with flowing folds that create a dynamic sense of movement and texture. Each fold showcases Redmile’s keen eye for detail, elevating this piece from mere decoration to a true work of art. The bust rests on a stately socle base, completing the elegant design with a classical foundation that enhances its majestic appeal.
