A very nice pair of finely chiseled ormolu candlesticks, with a base ornate with three winged animals. The stem is adorn with niches in the Gothic taste hosting armored medieval characters. In France, the troubadour style gradually assumes some importance. These are the writings of Chateaubriand who first raise the taste for medieval times. Since 1805, the Empress Josephine had installed at Malmaison a gothic gallery but interest in the Middle Ages touch at that time a minority. After the Restoration and the instigation of the Duchess of Berry, the troubadour style acquires a wide audience especially among the royalists.

A pair of gilt bronze naturalists candlesticks with three lights, topped by Dionysus (Bacchus for the Romans) and probably a Maenad. The drum is decorated with a snail and a shrew in "haut-relief". The circular base with three legs topped by three crickets and decorated with ivy and berries. At the end of the nineteenth century, the taste for naturalism with sculpturors like Antoine-Louis Barye, Auguste Cain and Pierre-Jules Mêne takes place in decorative objects. Illustrations: Dionysus is represented wearing the skin of a fawn he holds in one hand and the other the thyrsus, its main attribute. The Maenad (Bacchante in Roman) in an active position, twirling her hands on her chest, refer to Bacchanalia. They were held in honor of Dionysus-Bacchus, god of wine, drunkenness and misbehavior, including sexual. The theme of Bacchanalia is coherent with naturalism.

Une paire de flambeaux naturalistes en bronze doré et ciselé à trois lumières, surmontés de Dionysos (Bacchus pour les Romains) et probablement d'une Ménade. Le fût est orné d'un escargot et d'une musaraigne en haut relief. La base circulaire à trois pieds en forme de bouton de fleur surmonté de criquet est orné de lierre ainsi que de baies.
A la fin du XIX ème siècle, le goût pour le naturalisme avec des sculpteurs comme Antoine-Louis Barye, Auguste Cain ou Pierre-Jules Mêne prend place dans les objets de décoration. Iconographie: Dionysos est représenté vêtu de la peau d'un fauve qu'il retient d'une main, et de l'autre la thyrse, son principal attribut. La Ménade (bacchante chez les romains) en position animée, la robe virevoltant, les mains posées sur sa poitrine nous renvoie aux bacchanales. Liées aux mystères dionysiaques, elles se tenaient en l'honneur de Dionysos-Bacchus, dieu du vin, de l'ivresse et des débordements, notamment sexuels. Le thème des Bacchanales se prête parfaitement au goût pour le naturalisme.

A pair of Louis XV style ormolu candlesticks. The base rests on three legs shaped with winding sheets. The whole is carved with leaves and beautiful curves that give an overall impression of elegance typical of the Louis XV style. The bronze allows artisans, working during the reign of Louis XV, to show the greatest imagination, by combining different rococo patterns and by favoring the movement in their compositions. The reign of Louis XV is the one of imagination, fancy, movement, primacy of decor on the form, of the curved on the straight line. It is the omnipresence of rococo patterns which blend flora and fauna.
These Napoleon III candlesticks reproduce the fineness of the carving of the pieces in bronze under the reign of Louis XV as long as its rococo ornamental repertoire.
