Note du spécialiste

A pair of nearly identical candelabra were shown by the bronzier Denière at the London International Exhibition of 1862 and are illustrated in J. B. Waring, Masterpieces of Industrial Art & Sculpture 1862, plate 257. With their finely cast figures, bases and candlearms, they perfectly encapsulate the 'Orientalist’ influences so prevalent among bronziers in the French capital during the Second Empire.
