AFTER THE MODEL BY PIERRE GOUTHIERE, LAST QUARTER 19TH CENTURY
Each modelled as an athenienne, the fluted bulbous serpentina 'verde ranocchia' marble urn issuing serpentine candlearms modelled as blooming flowers and hung with fruiting grapevine garlands joined by three satyr masks heading tripartite legs terminating in biforcating hoof feet and enclosing a coiled serpent, raised on a circular corresponding marble base and six spirally-fluted cast toupie feet
29 in. (73.5 cm.) high; 14 ½ in. (37 cm.) diameter

Note du spécialiste

The present candelabra date to the revival of the Louis XVI style propagated by Empress Eugénie in the 1860s, and are most clearly inspired by a perfume burner on tripod stand with serpent by Gouthière, in the Duc d' Aumont sale and today in Wallace Collection (see P. Hughes, The Wallace Collection, Catalogue of Furniture, Vol. III, London 1996, p.1341, no. 275, F.292).
