專家說明


The design of these candlesticks is heavily influenced by the work of the French goldsmith Juste-Aurèle Meissonier (1695-1750), who also practiced as a sculptor, painter and architect. His designs for silver were first engraved by François Chéreau (1680-1729) and then Gabriel Huquier (1695-1772) being published individually from 1734 to 1742, and later in a single publication, Oeuvres de Juste-Aurèle Meissonnier, Paris, 1748. These candlesticks display the sinuous spirally fluted form perfected by Meissonnier, simplified from his design created for the candelabra made for Evelyn Pierrepont, Duke of Kingston (1712-1773) in 1734, now in the Musée des Arts décoratifs, Paris, (Inv. 32632).
