Louis XVI Period, Rare Pair Of Candelabra In Athenian.

Pair of large Athenian candelabra, in gilded and finely chiseled bronze, from the Louis XVI period.

All the attraction of these candelabras is developed in their base in the form of an Athenian tripod, each termination of which is in the form of a goat's hock and the beginning of which is a mermaid in a sheath.
Three in number, these triton women hold the cassolette decorated with a garland of oak leaves around its entire periphery and topped with a removable lid decorated with a pine cone. This accommodates the three arms of light simulating hunting horns, the ends of which each support a finely chiselled bobèche of long sheets of water.

This very beautiful model of Athenian candelabras is similar to the work of the bronzers Pierre Gouthière or Pierre-Philippe Thomire.
Several copies of similar design in the reference book vergoldete bronzen, from page 264 to 271.

Very good condition.
Original mercury gilding, uncleaned.

End of the Louis XVI period, around 1780-1790

Dimensions:
Height 40 cm
Width 22 cm
