    Important pair of gilt bronze wall sconces.
    Shafts of ribbons, oak leaves, deer hooves, and passementerie tassels.
    Branchs of knotted hunting horns, candle holders with vine friezes.
    Signed on the back "Vian" for Henri Vian.
    Height 108 cm, width 44 cm, depth 28 cm.
    Circa 1880.
    The original model for this pair of sconces was created by the bronze casters Edme Jean Gallien (1720-1797) and Pierre Bureaux (born in 1728) for the drawing room of the Château de Chessy.
    It was still fashionable during the Empire period, as a set of sconces of this model was delivered by Gallien on December 23, 1809, for the Salon de Compagnie at the Petit Trianon, illustrated in Ledoux-Lebard, *Le petit Trianon*, Paris, 1989, p. 98. Several renowned artisans, such as Beurdeley and Henri Vian (Christie's London, September 10, 2013, lot 217), created replicas at the end of the 19th century. The bronze sculptor Henri Vian, grandfather of Boris Vian, reproduced these models with great virtuosity.

    He participated in the Universal Expositions of 1878, 1889, and 1900, and was awarded a gold medal in 1889.
    He created the gates for the Villa Arnaga, Edmond Rostand's residence in the Basque Country. He also worked at the Ritz Hotel in London and the Court of Auditors on Rue Cambon.
    His workshops were located at 5 Rue de Thoriny in Paris, in the Hôtel Salé, which now houses the Picasso Museum and the School of Applied Arts.
