Lot Essay

The present candelabra date to the revival of the Louis XVI style propagated by Empress Eugénie in the 1860s, and are most clearly inspired by a perfume burner on tripod stand with serpent by Gouthière, in the Duc d' Aumont sale and today in Wallace Collection (see P. Hughes, , London 1996, p.1341, no. 275, F.292).
