    Description
    This description has been translated and may not be completely accurate. Click here to see the original
    Fine pair of 950/1000 silver candlesticks, entirely wrought and chased in a bold Rococo taste by the Parisian master silversmith Pierre-François-Augustin TURQUET.

    The shaped bases, with deeply contoured outlines, are richly adorned with asymmetrical scrollwork, shells, cartouches, flowers and fruit in high relief. The surfaces alternate between bright polished areas and matted grounds, enhancing the depth and vigour of the ornamentation.

    The baluster stem, embellished with spiral fluting and Rococo scroll appliqués, rises from a vigorously shaped terrace base of remarkable decorative dynamism.

    The ensemble perfectly illustrates the spectacular taste for naturalistic Rococo models revived in Parisian silverwork during the July Monarchy and the Second Empire.

    The detachable nozzles are present and are also in solid silver.

    Hallmarks
    • Minerva first standard silver hallmark (for french solid silver 950/1000 at this period).
    • Maker’s mark: P.A.T., a lion beneath a star, for Pierre-François-Augustin TURQUET.

    Dimensions
    • Height: 27 cm (10.63 in.)
    • Diameter: 15 cm (5.91 in.)

    Net weight: 915 g (32.27 oz.).

    Paris, 1844-1855.
