Catalogue Note
La marque du c couronné correspond vraisemblablement à la revente de cette paire de candélabres entre 1745 et 1749. Ils doivent être datés de la fin du XVIIe ou du début du XVIIIe siècle et être rapprochés de l'orfèvrerie contemporaine, proche d'artisans comme Ballin et Delaunay, la plupart de leurs oeuvres furent détruites par les fontes royales en 1689 et 1709. Ces candélabres ont vraisemblablement été conçus pour un décor de table en s'intégrant à un surtout plus vaste.
