Pair Of Empire Period Candelabra, Attributed To André-antoine Ravrio.

Pair of candelabra in gilded chiseled bronze and bronze with brown patina resting on a base in red griotte marble.
Two winged putti, in contrapposto posture, as if they were advancing, hold in each raised hand a torch forming a torch whose socket simulates a flame.
A light veil slipped between their wings, descends along their hip to hide their lower body/private parts.

Beautiful base in red griotte marble in cylinder set with a large ring in gilded chiseled bronze, finely gadrooned, resting on a square base also in gilded bronze.

Model by the bronzier Andre-Antoine Ravrio (1759-1814)

Period Consulate Empire, between 1800-1810

Beautiful state of conservation, original mercury gilding, nice aging of the original brown patina. Slight marble jump on one base.
