Fine pair antique French Empire gilt and patinated bronze candlesticks in the manner of Thomas Hope or Pierre Philippe Thomire, circa 1810.
The patinated bronze vestal maiden or caryatid in classical dress, superbly modelled, cast and finished stands upon a circular ormolu base. Upon her head is an ormolu tasseled cushion supporting the candle nozzle in the form of a basket with reeding and a particular basketweave decoration. Within the basket is a superb ormolu cornucopia of flowers and fruit. The patinated bronze and ormolu is original and in good condition. The work is of the very best quality.
Measure 11 3/4" tall x 4 1/2" diameter at the base. Two similar bobeches are included. Good condition - minor wear.
