Bibliography:

Eugène Hazart was a highly reputed Parisian bronzemaker, a member of the Réunion des fabricants de bronze from 1839 and a member of the Commission sur la propriété des modèles. Known since 1843 for copying antique styles, executing bronzes "in the Gothic and Renaissance taste on furniture, porcelain, groups, statuettes, etc.", he is still renowned for his reproductions of 18th-century works. He moved to 122, rue Vieille-du-Temple (from 1843), then to 12, rue St-Gilles, Marais (1856) and finally to 16, rue St-Gilles, Marais (1864).

He was a much-appreciated artist, appearing in 1884 in the suppliers' book of Pannier Frères, head of the famous firm "A l'Escalier de Cristal", a porcelain, crystal and furniture merchant-publisher based in the Palais-Royal and made famous throughout the 19th century by its brilliant performances at prestigious exhibitions.

These candelabra not only light up a room, they transform it. They bring an aura of timeless elegance, a quiet assurance that is felt in every detail.

To own these candelabras is to own a piece of history, a symbol of taste and distinction. It's an investment in the exceptional, in pure emotion.
