Description
Group of four Empire candlesticks in gilded bronze and burnished bronze, Paris, early 19th century. Vase-shaped holder with pods in the lower section, faceted quiver shaft ending with a trio of claw feet, circular support base. The gilded bronze parts are finely chiseled, decorated with various types of frets including foliaceous frets. The group of candlesticks described here is a close variant of a model created by André Antoine Ravrio (1759-1814) around 1808 and supplied in several examples for the imperial furnishings of the Château de Fontainebleau. Ravrio was one of the most talented French bronze workers of the early 19th century, together with Claude Galle and Thomire, being supplier to Emperor Napoleon. His adopted son, Louis-Stanislas Lenoir-Ravrio (1783-1846), who like his father was one of the main bronzesmiths of his time, also worked in André's workshop. The two worked together from 1811, the year in which Louis officially became a collaborator, until 1814, the year of his father's death, continuing the activity until 1840.

Additional Information
Style: Empire (1804-1815)
Decorative style of the furniture that is affirmed under the Empire of Napoleon Bonaparte, that is, between 1799, the year of his election as consul, and 1815, the year of his definitive defeat.It has many elements of continuity with the previous Direttorio style, in the more general Neoclassical climate, which derived from the study of classical antiquity the forms and models to be inspired in the creation of furniture.
The peculiar feature of this style is a greater grandeur and courtesy of the furnishings, which had to convey the grandeur of the French nation to the world, hence the name Empire style.
The furniture is characterized by straight, majestic and massive lines, adorned with motifs dear to Napoleon such as bees, eagles, large Ns surrounded by laurel, and, after the Egyptian campaign, many elements taken from Egyptian art.
He prefers the flat bronze decorations, often gilded, to the refined carvings of previous years.
The typical essence of Empire furniture is mahogany.
