Pair of reversible gilded bronze cassolettes and candlesticks – Empire period
An elegant pair of finely chiseled, mercury-gilded bronze cassolettes in an ovoid shape, resting on a circular pedestal that sits atop a square base decorated with fluting. Each piece is richly adorned with beaded friezes, acanthus leaves, and gadroons—characteristic of the Empire style—attesting to the high quality of the craftsmanship.
The side handles, featuring stylized scrollwork, display a refined design inspired by antiquity, lending the set perfect symmetry and a striking decorative presence.
These cassolettes are known as reversible: their removable lids, topped with an elegant fretel, can be turned over to form candle holders, thus transforming the vases into candlesticks. This ingenious system, highly prized during the First Empire, combines aesthetics and functionality.
Beautiful original gilding with a warm patina, showing slight wear consistent with its age.
