Beautiful Napoleon III chandelier with sixteen gilded bronze light arms, sculptures of children and female masks
after a model by André-Charles Boulle. This well-cast Louis XIV-style chandelier is based on an important model attributed to André-Charles Boulle, in the Musée du Louvre collection (OA 5101). See Hans Ottomeyer "Vergoldete Bronzen I"; p. 13, Fig 1.6.5, for an illustration of this chandelier.
Andre Charles Boulle's chandelier drawings were first officially published in a folio of eight plates by Pierre-Jean Mariette between 1707 and 1730.
André-Charles Boulle (1642-1732) was arguably the greatest cabinetmaker and bronzemaker of all time. Son of master ebony carpenter Jean Bolt, Boulle was already a master in 1666, and in 1672 was appointed Ebéniste, ciseleur, Doreur et Sculpteur du Roi. Boulle's fame rests on three main pillars: his extraordinary technical virtuosity as a craftsman, his innovation in technique and design, and his genius as a sculptor.
French work, circa 1870.
Date: circa 1870 Origin: France
Material : gilded bronze
