CHANDELIER "AUX BUSTES DE FEMMES ET DE BACCHUS"
Louis XIV, Paris ca. 1700/10. Atelier of André Charles Boulle (1642 - 1732).
Bronze, chiseled and punched, and fire gilt. Six curved light branches, mounted to busts of women and Bacchus.
D 67 cm, H 60 cm.
Holes from former fittings for electricity, screws in part replaced.
Various chandeliers by André Charles Boulle and in this style are known and in important collections, such as the Louvre, the Bibliothèque Mazarin and the Munich Residence. The striking decorative elements, such as the busts of Bacchus and women, the curved light branches and the applied leaves, are particular to these kinds of chandeliers (see Hans Ottomeyer/Peter Pröschel. Vergoldete Bronzen. Munich, 1986. Vol. 1, pp. 51 - 55, and Jean Nérée Ronfort. André Charles Boulle 1642 - 1732. A new style for Europe. Paris, 2009. pp. 33/34). The fine workmanship and the high quality of the gilding also point to the chandelier originating from Boulle's workshop.
