About the Item

Late 19th c., France, a pair of Napoleon III gilt bronze and champlevé candelabra. Four neoclassical column supports are surmounted by five candle cups, on an enamel decorated plinth. Both are unmarked. The beautifully decorated square base is delicately referenced in the square elements under the candle cups and between the column supports. These candelabras are of superb quality. The four champlevé panels on the sides of each base are beautifully executed. The direction of the design alternates around the sides of each candelabra. Champlevé Enameling: A decorative technique that fuses a powdered glassy material into a recess in a metal surface through the application of heat. Dimensions: 9.5"h x 9"squ Condition: Good, some areas of wear to gilding with spots of verdigris and wax residue. The enamel is well preserved. Provenance: A Private Collection: The Carlyle Hotel, NYC The Carlyle originated in 1930 as one of the city's premier residential hotels and became a cooperative building combining a hotel with luxury apartment rentals in 1970. Throughout its celebrated life, this striking Art Deco beauty has been home to world leaders, Hollywood celebrities, tycoons and royalty.
