Claude Galle, Pair Of Candelabra From The Empire-consulate Period.
Artist: Claude Galle
A very rare pair of Empire period three-light candelabra, attributed to Claude Galle.
Made of gilt bronze, they are decorated with three caryatid heads supported by a hexagonal shaft and resting on three pairs of feet. Emerging from the first socket, the three foliate branches take the form of griffins.
The uppermost socket is chased with a series of water lilies and an ivy frieze, while its bobeche features a frieze of pearls and points.
The quality of workmanship is excellent, with particularly fine and meticulous chasing, in their superb original gilding.
Rare on the art market, an identical pair was sold at Sotheby's on November 28, 2016, lot 216: Sotheby's Sale.
Attributed to Claude Galle (1759-1815).
Empire-Consulate period, possibly even dating to the Directory. Late 18th, very early 19th century.
