Description

the female Egyptian-shaped stem on a square column base, the branches terminating in Horus and lioness heads, with a detachable flame finial


(2)


Height 25 1/4 in. ; Haut. 64 cm

This pair of candelabra is directly inspired by the first 'Retour d'Égypte' models produced in Paris at the very end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century, and disseminated in England through Martin-Eloi Lignereux. Reminiscences of Thomas Hope's work can also be seen, as well as a particular treatment of the gilt bronze that can be compared to that of the bronzier Vulliamy, in particular the stylised lion's head light arms, which would tend to favour an English origin. For an identical pair, see Sotheby's, Paris, 26 June 2024, lot 108.
