"Large Pair Of Gilt Bronze Sconces With Hunting Horns After Gallien And Bureaux. 20th Century"

The shaft topped with a knotted ribbon, finished with two tassels of passementerie, oak leaves and crowbar at the damping of the horns, horn pavilion is decorated with a wreath of vine branches. 20th century period. The original model of this pair of sconces was created by the bronze makers Edme Jean Gallien (1720-1797) and Pierre Bureaux (born in 1728) for the salon of the Château de Chessy. It was still fashionable under the Empire since a series of sconces of this model was delivered by Galle on December 23, 1809 for the Salon de Compagnie du Petit Trianon, illustrated in Ledoux-Lebard, Le petit Trianon, Paris, 1989, p.98. Several of the most renowned craftsmen, such as Beurdeley and Henri Vian (Christie's London, September 10, 2013, lot 217) made replicas at the end of the 19th century.
