A LOUIS XV ORMOLU-MOUNTED EUROPEAN VERNIS PAIR OF TWO-BRANCH CANDELABRA, THE FIGURES ATTRIBUTED TO THE MARTIN BROTHERS, CIRCA 1750
The inventory of the Duchesse du Maine, taken in 1753, records in her bedchamber "deux girandoles à deux branches de cuivre dorée portée sur deux pagodes de verny de Martin montées en bronze doré d'or moulu," corresponding closely to the present pair of two-light candelabra.
Together with the Louis XV vernis Martin clock offered here (Lot 43), they exemplify the pronounced 18th century taste for exoticism.
Each candelabrum is modelled with a seated pair of magots resting on a rocky base, supporting scrolling candle branches conceived as flowering boughs. The exceptional quality of the vernis Martin - particularly evident in the finely executed black lacquered robes enriched with gilt Orientalising motifs and red borders - permits their attribution to the workshop of the Martin brothers. Moreover, an identical pair preserved in the Residenz, Munich, has likewise been attributed to this distinguished workshop (P. Verlet, op. cit., Paris, 1999, p. 21). The remarkable appeal of the present candelabra lies in the subtle interplay of gesture and gaze. The sense of movement is conveyed through the animated folds of the garments, while each figure turns towards the candle flame, ingeniously reinforcing the functional purpose of the object.
Several comparable pairs of candelabra are recorded. One, very close to the present example, was sold at Sotheby's, 18 October 2006, lot 38, while another, embellished with soft-paste porcelain flowers, is recorded in the Frank Partridge Collection.
Closely related to this group of candelabra ornamented with European-made magots are a number of examples incorporating figures imported from the Far East. Two notable pairs are preserved respectively in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (inv. 1982.60.87–88), and the Musée Carnavalet, Paris (inv. MB425-1), the latter from the former Henriette Bouvier Collection. Although these imported figures are carved in lacquered wood, comparison with these examples demonstrates the extent to which European gilt-bronze models drew their inspiration from their Eastern prototypes.
