France, during the Empire

Pair of candlesticks with four lights

gilded bronze, cm alt 61

The elegant pair of candlesticks with four lights are characterized by figures of Victoria portrayed in balance on a sphere placed on top of a column coil surrounded by figures in procession; the figures, designed to be arranged "vis à vis", support a cornucopia from which emerge the candle holders arms. 

The Empire style, which flourished between 1804 and 1815, represents the last phase of Neoclassicism and is inextricably linked to the rise to power of Napoleon Bonaparte. Born in France to celebrate the grandeur of the emperor and his achievements, he quickly spread throughout Europe, deeply influencing architecture, furniture, decorative arts and visual arts.

 The imperial aesthetic is based on a rigid return to the ancient, drawing inspiration from Greek and Roman art and architecture. Essential lines, harmonious proportions and symmetry reign supreme. The decorations are rich and symbolic, often depicting elements such as eagles, sphinxes, lions, laurel, bundles and stars. The carved friezes, bas-reliefs and gilded bronzes embellish the surfaces.

Precious materials such as marble, bronze, solid wood and sumptuous fabrics such as velvet and silk are used.
