LATE 19TH CENTURY
Each with acanthus-clasped scrolled branches above a vasiform stem and garland hung supports terminating in hoof feet, on a tripartite base conformingly decorated and centred by mask roundels

Note du spécialiste

The design of this pair of candelabra is closely related to a pair in the Petit Trianon at the Château de Versailles dated to circa 1780 and illustrated in H. Ottomeyer, P. Pröschel et al., Vergoldete Bronzen, Munich, 1986, vol. I, p. 261, fig. 4.8.4. Owing to its popularity, it was replicated with some frequency in the 19th century, with the present pair being of particularly high quality.
