Description

This description has been translated and may not be completely accurate. Click here to see the original

Rare and elegant pair of gilt and chiseled bronze sconces with "bearing angels".
The latter, dear to Pierre-Philippe Thomire, which he used for the design of the famous sconces in the Emperor's bedroom and living room at Fontainebleau. André-Antoine Ravrio, Claude Galle and Pierre Chibout also took up this model.

Here, the angel's hands reach over to raise a large crown that serves as a perch for a trio of imperial eagles. Each of the divine raptors dominating its own direction, like watchmen of life.

Very beautiful original gilding, with wear to the binets. Nice matte and gloss work.

Undrilled, completely original.

Empire-Consulate period.
