About the Item

A gilt bronze candlestick featuring an acrobatic bear holding a twisted binet adorned with gadroons. On a round, flower-shaped base, the bear supports the candle holder. The candlestick rests on a circular tripod base decorated with branches. This candlestick is attributed to Christophe Fratin, a renowned 19th-century animal sculptor whose work was widely recognized during his lifetime. It is an excellent example of 19th-century decorative art, combining intricate chisel work with rich materials to create a piece that is both understated and majestic. Christophe Fratin, a celebrated animal sculptor, exhibited at the Paris Salon from 1831 to 1842 and from 1850 to 1862, as well as at the Great Exhibition in London in 1851. His masterpiece "Eagles and Prey" has been displayed in Central Park, New York, since 1863. His works are found in prestigious locations such as the Château de Dampierre, the Sans-Souci and Babelsberg castles in Germany, the park in Saint Petersburg, and the Visconti Courtyard at the Louvre. Fratin collaborated with Alfred Daubrée, a sculptor and bronze editor born in Nancy in 1817.
