AFTER THE MODEL BY CLODION, CIRCA 1820-40

Although the bronzier responsible for these candelabra remains unrecorded, the model itself enjoyed enormous success in both the 18th and 19th Centuries and shares much in common with the oeuvres of the sculpteurs Claude Michel, dit Clodion and Louis Félix de la Rue (H. Ottomeyer, P. Pröschel et al., Vergoldete Bronzen, Munich, 1986, Vol.1, p.210, no.XXVIII).
