After Robert-Joseph Auguste - Vestal Virgins Pair of Louis XVI Style Gilt Bronze Candlesticks, circa 1850<\/b><\/p>\n
Une \u00e9l\u00e9gante paire de flambeaux en bronze dor\u00e9, r\u00e9alis\u00e9e au XIXe si\u00e8cle, s’inspire du style Louis XVI, r\u00e9put\u00e9 pour sa gr\u00e2ce et sa sym\u00e9trie.<\/p>\n
The Louis XVI style, popular from 1774 to 1792, is distinguished by its return to classical forms and symmetry. These candlesticks are a fine example, blending tradition with timeless elegance.<\/p>\n
Three female figures, representing vestal virgins, form the body of the candlestick. Their back-to-back arrangement creates visual harmony.<\/p>\n
The circular base, supported by three feet, is adorned with finely chiseled classical entrelacs vegetal motifs.<\/p>\n
A circular binet, decorated with natural motifs, tops the figures' heads and holds the candle.<\/p>\n
Inspir\u00e9s par les \u0153uvres de Robert-Joseph Auguste, un ma\u00eetre orf\u00e8vre du XVIIIe si\u00e8cle, ces flambeaux rappellent les cr\u00e9ations r\u00e9alis\u00e9es pour le roi Gustave III de Su\u00e8de, aujourd’hui expos\u00e9es au Metropolitan Museum de New York.<\/p>\n
Robert-Joseph Auguste, a renowned master goldsmith, made his mark with creations in silver and gold.<\/p>\n
Peu d’exemplaires de ce mod\u00e8le existent, ce qui en fait une pi\u00e8ce de collection unique.<\/p>\n
Ideal for adorning refined interiors, these candlesticks will bring a touch of light and sophistication to your living rooms and boudoirs.<\/p>\n
Height: 12.4 inches.<\/p>\n
Base Diameter: 6.1 inches.<\/p>\n
Les flambeaux sont en excellent \u00e9tat, avec une dorure ancienne pr\u00e9sentant quelques signes d’usure qui t\u00e9moignent de leur histoire.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
