Description

Stylised bronze dolphin candlestick

Late 19th century, circa 1880-1910.

The candlestick was used to provide light when moving around, unlike candlesticks and other candle lighting fixtures that remained on a piece of furniture. 

Bronze – 19th century Louis XV style

Bronze candlestick with antique patina, depicting a stylised dolphin forming the shaft, resting on a tripod base decorated with rocaille foliage.

The bobèche is screwed on, characteristic of productions from the second half of the 19th century.

Inspired by 18th-century decorative vocabulary, this model is in keeping with the historicist taste favoured in scholarly interiors at the end of the 19th century: dynamic forms, animal motifs, references to mythology and rocaille ornamentation.

A decorative object with character, ideal for displaying in a cabinet of curiosities.

Height 20cm - Tripod base approx. 9cm

Once sold by the apothecary, bezoar, also known as gallstone, was reputed to have the same anti-poison properties as the legendary unicorn's horn, hence its excessively high price, also due to its great rarity.

An important piece in a cabinet of curiosities
