A pair of candlesticks after a model by Pierre Gouthière - Bronze (gilt) - Late 19th century
A fine pair of ormolu candlesticks after a model by Jean-Démosthène Dugourc, late 19th century. The upper part of each candlestick features three conjoined caryatid maidens with beads in their hair and braids that tie up beneath their neck, alongside foliage and swags. With their triple female caryatid tapering baluster-shaped stem, these candlesticks bear close similarity to a design attributed to Pierre Gouthière (1732–1813) . Literature: Hans Ottomeyer en Peter Pröschel, 'Vergoldete Bronzen', 1986, p. 286, pl. 4. 15. 2. Overall, the candlesticks are in very good condition, with some signs of usage and their age. Any questions, please ask.
