PAIR OF CANDELABRA WITH FIGURES OF PARADISE BIRDS RUSSIA, 19TH CENTURY

PAIR OF CANDELABRA WITH FIGURES OF PARADISE BIRDS RUSSIA, 19TH CENTURY

A monumental pair of gilt bronze candelabra, each surmounted by a sculptural figure of a paradise bird with wings outstretched. The composition of each piece is structured around a central baluster richly decorated with relief ornament, rising from a multi-tiered base supported by elegantly curved feet adorned with elaborate vegetal motifs. The upper section is formed as a crown of gracefully scrolling candle arms terminating in drip pans, each embellished with elongated clear crystal pendants that enhance the play of light and impart a distinctly ceremonial character.The birds are rendered with pronounced attention to the plasticity of the plumage and the dynamism of the silhouette, aligning these works with the traditions of Russian Historicism and the romantic interpretation of natural motifs characteristic of 19th century decorative arts. The ornamental vocabulary of the bodies includes stylized foliage, fluting and medallions, typical of high-quality bronze production of the period.Dimensions: Height: 52.5 cm. Width: 32 cm. Depth: 70 cm.Condition: Good condition. The gilding is evenly preserved with a natural age-related patina and minor signs of wear consistent with use. The crystal pendants are largely intact, with possible minimal losses that do not affect the overall visual impression.Provenance: Private European collection.

Rococo mirror.

Large wall mirror in the Rococo style. Carved wood, gilding. Measure and harmony define it. Neither the diagonal of the garrulous putti, nor the roccaille framing of the top and bottom violate the discreet oval of the mirror. Its smooth silhouette subordinates the decor to harmony and is full of chamber lyrics. The frame is richly decorated with rocaille elements: foliage, roses and putti holding garlands of flowers. H-135 cm.
