André-antoine Ravrio, Pair Of Zephyr Candelabra, Empire Period, 1805.

André-Antoine RAVRIO, pair of Empire period zephyr candelabra, 1805.

Pair of patinated and gilded bronze candelabra depicting a zephyr carrying two torchieres.
The cylindrical base with superb small sconces symbolizing "study" and "fire", all on a console chiseled with palmettes.
Magnificent bobèches carved with anthemions. One is missing (one is also missing from the pair kept in the national furniture).

This model of candelabra with zephyrs, made by André Antoine Ravrio (1759-1814), was in the back office of Prince Joachim Murat (1767-1815), on the first floor of the Elysée Palace.
The National Furniture preserves it under the number GML 5879/1 and 2, referenced in the work of Marie-FranceDupuy-Baylet "L'Heure, le Feu, la Lumière. Les bronzes du Mobilier national 1800-1870", on page 124 (visible in the photos).

Very good state of conservation with its pretty original gilding.

Empire period, circa 1805.

Height 44 cm
