All auctions / Furniture, Design & Mirrors / Toegeschreven aan Louis-Valentin Elias Robert (1821–1874)...
An impressive and exceptionally decorative pair of large brass patinated candelabras, each shaped as an elegant classical female figure or caryatid, dressed in finely executed draperies in antique style. The figures stand in a graceful pose on architecturally stepped pedestals and raise their arms above their heads to bear the candle holders. The refined modeling, expressive faces, and especially the meticulously worked folds of the garments testify to a high-quality execution of the bronze work. The candelabras are executed in the French Neo-Empire tradition and reflect the enduring fascination with classical antiquity, which exerted a significant influence on French decorative arts during the 19th century. The sculptural treatment and the classical idiom show clear stylistic kinship with the oeuvre of Louis-Valentin Elias Robert (1821–1874), known for his finely modeled classical and allegorical figures. An imposing and harmonious pair with a strong architectural and sculptural presence. Origin: France Dating: second half of the 19th century Attribution: Louis-Valentin Elias Robert (1821–1874) Material: patinated bronze Dimensions: each 61 × 27 × 19 cm The photos are part of the description.
