Description

A pair of large carved wood candelabra Carved and gilded wood with ormolu mountings and cut glass droplets. Both candelabra with 20 nozzles for candles and five branches hung with prisms surrounding a central pine cone motif. Fluted foliage-clasped column shafts on raised and slightly tapering tripod supports and three paw feet. The upper corners of the bases with female figures, the sides with tritons amid arabesques in relief. Some screws and prisms missing. H ca. 242, D c. 90 cm. Attributed to Northern Italy, second quarter 19th C., circle of Pelagio Palagi (1775 - 1860). This type of large candelabra is based on the designs of the Frenchmen Charles Percier and Pierre Fontaine, whose "Recueil de décorations intérieures: comprenant tout ce qui a rapport a l'ameublement, comme vases, trépieds, candélabres..." was published in Paris in 1812. Percier and Fontaine adapted classical motifs discovered during the recent archaeological excavations in Naples, which perfectly suited the emperor's taste. Following their designs, the Parisian ebenist Pierre Benoît Marcion (1769 - 1840) created a series of eight "torchères" based on antique models. The lamps featured three sculpted models of eagles perching with outspread wings on the angles of the three-sided tapering plinths, and a fluted column shaft with an acanthus clasped base. These candelabra are now housed in the Mobilier National. About 20 years later, a large candelabra similar to the one presented here was cast in bronze by the Manufattura Manfredini for the Palazzo Reale in Turin, based on a design by Pelagio Palagi. It bears a voluminous crown of branches with numerous nozzles, and was entirely in-keeping with the taste of the restoration period. These candelabras with their fully sculptured figures and dense relief decoration can also be dated to this period. They were probably produced in northern Italy, possibly even by an artist from the circle of the great designer Pelagio Palagi. Provenance Private collection, Copenhagen. Literature Cf. Ottomeyer/Pröschel, Vergoldete Bronzen, vol. I, Munich 1986, illus. 5.19.15, for the candelabra in the Palazzo Reale, Sala dello Statuto, after designs by Palagio. Cf. also: Colle/Griseri/Valeriani, Bronzi decorativi in Italia. Bronzisti e fonditori italiani dal Seicento all'Ottocento, Milan 2001, no. 104 and no. 103. Cf. Ledoux-Lebard, Le mobilier français du XIX siècle, Paris 3/2000, p. 465 and 460 ff. Cf. Gonzáles-Palacios, Arredi e ornamenti alla corte di Roma, Milan 2004, p. 279, for an illustration of the Roman candelabra from the Villa Borghese which was restored and completed by Antonio D´Este, the shaft of which bears similar repeating foliage motifs. Paar große Prunkkandelaber Holz, geschnitzt, vergoldet über rotem Bolus, feuervergoldete Bronze, farbloses geschliffenes Glas. Beide Kronen jeweils mit 20 Kerzentüllen auf jeweils fünf verzweigten Astarmen, dicht mit Prismen behängt, um einen plastischen Zapfen. Kannelierter und mit Blattrelief verzierter Säulenschaft auf einem dreipassigen hohen und leicht verjüngten Postament mit drei Tatzenfüßen. Auf den oberen Ecken der Basis jeweils drei vollplastische weibliche Figuren, auf den drei Seiten ein Triton zwischen Arabesken im Relief. Einige Schrauben und Prismen verloren. H ca. 242, D ca. 90 cm. Norditalien, zugeschrieben, zweites Viertel 19. Jh., Umkreis des Pelagio Palagi (1775 - 1860). Der Typus des großen Kandelabers geht zurück auf die Entwürfe der Franzosen Charles Percier und Pierre Fontaine, deren „Recueil de décorations intérieures: comprenant tout ce qui a rapport a l'ameublement, comme vases, trépieds, candélabres...“ 1812 in Paris erschien. Percier und Fontaine griffen Motive auf, die die jüngsten Ausgrabungen in Neapel anboten und trafen den Geschmack des l´Empereur. Nach ihren Entwürfen schuf der Pariser Ebenist und Ménusier Pierre Benoît Marcion (1769 - 1840) eine Serie von acht "torchères" nach antiken Vorbildern. Auf dem dreiseitigen verjüngten Postament der Flammenschalen stehen drei vollplastische Adler mit gespreizten Flügeln, der gleichfalls kannelierte Schaft ist unten umlegt mit großen Akanthusblättern. Diese Leuchter befinden sich heute im Mobilier National. Ungefähr 20 Jahre später wurde ein, denen hier vorgestellten vergleichbarer, großer Kandelaber für den Palazzo Reale in Turin von der Manufattura Manfredini nach einem Entwurf von Pelagio Palagi in Bronze gegossen. Er trägt eine voluminöse Astkrone mit zahlreichen Tüllen, die ganz dem Geschmack der Restaurationsperiode entspricht. In diese Zeit sind auch die hier vorliegenden Kandelaber mit den vollplastischen Figurenaufsätzen und der dichten Reliefdekoration zu datieren. Sie stammen vermutlich aus Norditalien und möglicherweise sogar aus dem Umkreis des großen Entwerfers Pelagio Palagi. Provenienz Kopenhagener Privatsammlung. Literatur Vgl. Ottomeyer/Pröschel,Vergoldete Bronzen, Bd. I, München 1986, Abb. 5.19.15, die Kandelaber im Palazzo Reale, Sala dello Statuto, nach Entwürfen von Palagio. S.a. Vgl. Colle/Griseri/Valeriani, Bronzi decorativi in Italia. Bronzisti e fonditori italiani dal Seicento all'Ottocento, Mailand 2001, Nr. 104 und auch Nr. 103. Vgl.
