Rare Pair Of Athenian Candelabra, Late 18th Century.

Pair of large Athenian candelabra, in chiseled gilded bronze, from the Directoire period.
Base in the form of a tripod Athenian with siren protomes, each end of which is a ram's shank. Three in number, these triton women hold the cassolette decorated with a garland of oak leaves around its entire periphery and topped with a removable lid decorated with a pine cone. This accommodates the three arms of light simulating hunting horns, the ends of which each support a bobèche chiseled with long water leaves.

These rare Athenian candelabra are similar to the models of Pierre Gouthière or Pierre-Philippe Thomire.
Several examples of similar design in the reference book vergoldete bronzen, from page 264 to 271.

Good state of conservation.
Original mercury gilding, normal wear, not cleaned.

End of the 18th century, between 1790 and 1800.

Dimensions:
Height: 40 cm
Width: 22 cm
