These mesmerising 'bleu lapis' candelabra decorated with palmettes, sphinxes and rams heads demonstrate the innovative designs of the Sèvres manufactory in the late Empire and early Restauration period. Bearing the initials 'J B', they follow designs dated 1814 in the collection of the Archives de la manufacture de Sèvres for candélabres Bodson by the painter and decorator Joseph Bodson, who worked at the manufactory from 1813-1819. The candelabra present the same form, ornament and white and gilt decoration as the designs, varying only in the striking 'bleu lapis' ground simulating precious lapis lazuli. They appear to be a rare and unique realisation of Bodson's composition.
