FRANCE, BARBEDIENNE (?) XIXe SIÈCLE
PAIR OF COLUMNS Louis XVI style, circa 1860
Pink granite and gilt bronze
H. 173 cm, D. 32 cm
This pair of pink granite columns is surmounted by a capital of Ionic order in chased and gilt bronze.
It rests on a base decorated with a laurel wreath. This work in the Louis XVI style was inspired by the work of the chiseler-gilder Pierre Gouthière (1732-1813) based on drawings by François-Joseph Bélanger (1744-1818). A similar basic decoration can be found on one of his creations for Louis-Marie-Auguste, Duke of Aumont, commissioned for King Louis XVI (fig. 1).
Although simpler in its ornamentation, the Ionic capital echoes another Gouthière creation, a more elaborate Corinthian capital, whose organization is repeated on our columns (fig. 2). Automatically translated by DeepL. To see the original version, click here.
