An extremely rare pair of antique Napoleonic candlesticks made by French master VICTOR PAILLARD in the 1800s. Possibly one of a kind.


Dimensions:

Base Diameter: 14cm

Height: 37.5cm


Condition: good, appropriate for its age. (see photographs)


Base: both bases of the candlesticks are in excellent condition. Beautiful eagle leg design, possibly of napoleonic symbolism.


The sticks: one is quite good, while the other one is a bit skewed from the age. Could do with an alignment but it also adds charm and character. Holds candles very well no doubt.


The top: both in excellent condition, with very minor wear from the years as expected.


About Victor Paillard:


After passing through the Free Royal School of Drawing and training as an engraver, he was a student of Jean-François Denière and collaborator of Ferdinand Barbedienne . Quickly recognized as one of the best bronze casters of his time, around 1830 he created an art and furniture house which would employ up to a hundred people in the mid- 19th century . He received numerous official orders, notably during the decoration of the Minister of Foreign Affairs' hotel on the Quai d'Orsay in Paris.


Exhibiting in France and abroad, he was appointed member of the jury of the Universal Exhibition of 1855 in Paris, and exhibited out of competition.


Victor Paillard worked for the cabinetmaker Alexandre-Georges Fourdinois , great Russian families, Honoré de Balzac , the prince of Galliera , Abel Laurent , Louis-Constantin Detouche , and the infamous Count of Silva Monteiro, possibly the richest man in Porto in the mid 19th century, who commissioned his entire palace to be filled with only Victor Paillard Bronzes.
