Pair of Tall Empire Ormolu & Bronze Candelabras Attributed to Gerard Jean Galle

Pair of Tall Empire Ormolu & Bronze Candelabras Attributed to Gerard Jean Galle

By Gérard-Jean Galle

Located in GRENOBLE, FR

A fine pair of tall ormolu (mercury gilt bronze) and patinated bronze candelabras, French Restauration production, early 19th century work circa 1815 - 1820. Spectacular 4-lights model held by winged putti standing on a finely chiseled column-shaped base. This pattern is a variant of the candelabras Claude Galle delivered to the Grand Trianon in 1809. This theme used to be very successful in early 19th century and were the subject of a number of imperial orders to Claude Galle, Thomire and Ravrio. Our candelabras were manufactured circa 1815 - 1820 : we attribute them to Gerard Jean Galle...

Pair of Tall Empire silver plate Candelabras by JG Galle - early 19th century

Pair of Tall Empire silver plate Candelabras by JG Galle - early 19th century

By Gérard-Jean Galle

Located in GRENOBLE, FR

Rare pair of silver plate bronze candelabras, early 19th century production (Empire period). Beautiful Louis XVI style model, elegant proportions, 2 to 3 lights each (you can turn the center piece over to get a third light). They are composed of 17 independent parts each (the more there are, the higher the quality). The bottom part looks exactly like an ormolu pair of candlesticks exhibited at chateau de Fontainebleau, listed in a book dedicated to bronze items that came into the castle under Emperor Napoleon's reign (last picture, the left candlestick). This books testifies that the ormolu pair has probably been delivered there by Claude Galle in 1807. Our pair is a variant of this pair of candlesticks : - silver plate instead of gilt bronze - the candelabra part on top Early 19th century work attributed to Gerard Jean Galle...
