    An elegant pair of bronze candlesticks with a brown patina, signed by the ornamentalist and sculptor Paul-Auguste Gagné (1824-1878).
    Resting on a tripod base formed by powerful lion's paw feet, these candlesticks feature a rich decoration of stylized foliage, palmettes, and finely modeled ivy leaves. The stem, treated in a vegetal style, rises elegantly to a drip pan inspired by the shape of oil lamps from Greco-Roman antiquity, a characteristic reference to the Neo-Greek taste that enjoyed considerable popularity during the Second Empire.
    The quality of the design and sculpture testifies to the expertise of Paul-Auguste Gagné, an artist active in the field of bronze art and ornamentation. A contemporary document mentions him specifically for the "arrangement and execution of the Chinese-style mount for a porcelain vase," attesting to his activity as a designer and ornamentalist within the Parisian decorative arts scene. With their decorative vocabulary blending antique references, naturalistic foliage, and elegant lines, these candlesticks perfectly illustrate the archaeological revival that characterized French decorative arts in the second half of the 19th century.
    Both candlesticks are signed and display a beautiful, uniformly preserved antique patina.
    France, circa 1865-1875.
