André-antoine Ravrio, Pair Of Empire-consulate Period Candelabra

Pair of candelabra in gilded 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 in gilded bronze, slipped between their wings, descends along their hip to hide their private parts.

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

Attributed to the bronzier Andre-Antoine Ravrio (1759-1814)

Consulate Empire period, between 1800-1810
