Large Pair of French Empire Period Candelabra, Attributed to Claude Galle
About the Item
A magnificent large pair of five-light doré bronze and patinated bronze Empire period candelabra, attributed to Claude Galle made in the early 1800s. This pair of candelabra are set on Verde Antico marble base with ormolu mounts held up by gorgeous winged lions. The ormolu arms and bases have been finely cast and hand-chiseled with exceptional detail and meticulous craftsmanship. Each candle holder is being held up by intricately hand-chiseled dragon majestically holding their heads up towards the candles. Between the four arms are three flaming phoenixes upholding the final candlestick. Found on the patinated bronze are beautifully placed acanthus leaves flowing upward to the top of the candles. The ormolu is of the finest quality with the doré bronze exceptionally handcrafted and the patina prodigiously hand-painted on.
This pair of candelabra was made in France in the early 1800s and is attributed to the work of the Parisian guilder and modeler Claude Galle. Galle had been one of the main figures at the International Exhibition in Paris in 1819 and is one of the most important casters and gilders of the 18th century and the early 1800's.

Exceptional Pair of French Late Empire Gilt-bronze Candelabra Attributed to Pier
By Pierre-Philippe Thomire
Located in Benington, Herts
A pair of exceptionally elegant and important late Empire five-light figural candelabra ‘A la Victoire’ in gilt-bronze, attributed to Pierre-Philippe Thomire, after a design by Charles Percier. Imposing size at 81cm in height.
French Paris c.1820
Superbly cast, in the Neo-Classical style, the five scrolling foliate candle branches enclosing central sconces issuing from a circular wreath supported by the winged figure of Victory (Nike), wearing diaphanous robes gathered by a sash above a long underskirt splaying out from above her ankles, with beautifully feathered wings flowing behind her as she looks straight ahead. Each figure standing on one foot, the other bent, resting on a plain sphere over a reeded palmette-cast baluster pedestal raised on square plinth. Wonderful colour and patina, pierced for electricity, old inventory label to the underside.
We are delighted to have been able to acquire these important candelabra as rarely does one get the opportunity to purchase items by P P Thomire...
