Note du spécialiste

This finely cast pair of candelabra is inspired by a pair of 18th century gilt-bronze and marble vase-form candelabra attributed to François Rémond (maître 1774), a pair of which is now located in the Frick Collection, New York. While Denière, a master bronzier of the highest order, incorporated the identical pairs of seated satyresses, the addition of brightly painted porcelain by Eugène Poitevin highlights the role Denière had in integrating the old and the new to create a fashionably eclectic style. This unique combination emphasizes the height of ornamentation and decoration in the second half of the 19th century.
