Pair Of Bronze Candelabra

Set of two Patinated and Gilt Bronze Candlesticks, representing a Girl and a Satyreau, seated on Stumps. The two characters, with Chubby morphologies, are naked, and wearing Crowns of Golden Vines. The lower part of the body of the young Faun, as a faithful figure of the Greek Divinity, is that of a Goat. Each of these children holds in his hands two Horns of Plenty embellished with Vines. These arms of light are terminated by foliated Bobèches, themselves topped with Chalices, also ornate. It will be noted that these Candlestick parts are removable, to facilitate cleaning. These Bronzes rest on a White Marble, cut in Truncated and Fluted Columns. These first parts are themselves encamped on square bases with hollowed-out angles, and the edges underlined by golden strips. These candelabras were inspired by original works created in 1770 by Clodion (for the Satyr) and by Delarue (for the Girl), and a copy of which is on display at the Louvre Museum. Art, Love and Mythology come together in this Pair of Candlesticks, which will modestly light up your peaceful evenings, when it is not simply but wonderfully Decorative. ******** Period: Late 19th century Perfect condition after restoration in our workshop.
