A PAIR OF RÉGENCE ORMOLU CANDLESTICKS, AFTER A MODEL BY CORNEILLE VAN CLÈVE, CIRCA 1720
According to eighteenth-century sources, the design of this remarkable model of candlestick is attributed to the sculptor Corneille van Clève (1646-1732), a pupil of Michel Anguier (1612-1686) and a distinguished member of the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture. A drawing attributed to the artist and preserved in the Kunstbibliothek, Berlin (fig. 1), depicts this ambitious composition resting on a couple supporting children, demonstrating Van Clève's inventive mastery in the field of the decorative arts.
Corneille van Clève supplied numerous designs intended to be cast in silver or bronze, frequently collaborating with his brother-in-law, the celebrated goldsmith Nicolas Delaunay (master in 1672). Delaunay, who notably executed in 1704 the magnificent ewer and basin offered in this sale (see lot 10), also produced, in November 1702, a set of six gilt-silver candlesticks for the bedchamber of Louis XIV at Versailles, described as representans par le corps un homme nud assis sur un balustre… et portant sur son épaule un enfant tenant sur sa teste la bobeche, le tout pozé sur un pied rond, cizelé dessus de godrons creux tornans… (Archives nationales, O¹ 3307, fol. 457). The circular base enriched with spiralling concave gadroons described in this inventory corresponds closely to that shown in Van Clève's drawing, unlike later Rococo interpretations attributed to Claude II Ballin.
This monumental design enjoyed considerable success throughout the eighteenth century and appears in several distinguished inventories, including the Randon de Boisset sale (27 February-25 March 1777, lot 266), the sale of the Comte de Luc (22-23 December 1777, acquired by the marchand-mercier Julliot), and the collection of the Marquis de Ménars (18 March–6 April 1782, lot 574). The richness of its composition, combined with the exceptional virtuosity of its chasing, makes it one of the finest achievements of the decorative arts during the transitional period between the end of Louis XIV's reign and the Régence.
Régence period examples remain exceptionally rare. A pair formerly in the Rothschild collections was sold at Christie's, Paris, 27 October 2010 (Haras d'Estimauville sale, lot 339), while another, formerly in the collections of Madame André Rueff and later Hubert de Givenchy, was sold at Christie's, Paris, 14 June 2022 (lot 39). The Wallace Collection, London, also preserves two examples of the model: one with the original circular base (inv. F232), and another in patinated bronze mounted on a Rococo base attributed to Claude II Ballin (inv. F233).
