About the Item

A French Napoléon III pair of three-lights candelabras Ormolu-mounted Rare Fluorite also called Fluorspar Vases The baluster shape body flanked by two arms and surmounted by a lid ending by a third candle-ring. These candelabras are made from the rare and prized mineral fluorspar, also known as fluorite, in a delightful grass green color that is complemented with ornate ormolu mounts. The beautiful natural arrangement of the impurities within the fluorite of the bodies of the vases give them an exceptional decorative pattern Resting on an ormolu rocaille base Louis XV Style Circa 1880 Attributed to Maison Millet Paris The firm of Millet was founded in Paris in 1853. A very talented specialist in 18th century reproductions, Millet produced furniture and artistic bronzes of the highest quality. He was one of the few cabinetmakers to obtain authorization from the Château de Versailles to make a replica of Queen Marie-Antoinette’s great jewel cabinet. As an artist of great merit, he obtained the highest rewards such as the Gold Medal at the Paris Universal Exhibition in 1889 and the Grand Prize at the Universal Exhibition of 1900. The firm lasted until 1918.

Hardy, Faton ed., Primavera 1912-1972: Atelier d’Art du Printemps Primavera, “Spring” in Italian, was the first French department store to set up a creative workshop at the beginning of the 20th century. The adventure began in 1912 with two Decorative Arts enthusiasts: Pierre Laguionie (1884-1978), director of “Printemps” Department Store and lawyer René Guilleré (1878-1931), founder of the Salon des Artistes Dé-corateurs.

Decorative objects and furniture (furniture, ceramics, glassware, carpets, up-holstery, wallpapers, etc.) must be beautiful, modern, of high quality and at affordable prices. The studio acquired young decorative artists such as Marcel Guillemard (1886-1932) and Louis Sognot (1892-1969) for furniture, and for works of art and ceramics by Madeleine Sougez (1891-1945)active from 1920 to 1928, Claude Lévy (1895-1942) from 1919 to 1929, Paule Petitjean (1895-1989) de 1913 à 1929, Hélèné Gatelet de 1924 à 1930, Marcelle Thiénot...
