拍品专文

This pair of candelabra is based on the designs of Juste-Auréle Meissonnier (1695-1750), epitomizing the organic exuberance of the rococo taste. Meissonnier's engraved designs, first published circa 1750 in Paris, are illustrated in D. Nyberg, Meissonnier: An Eighteenth-Century Maverick, New York, 1969, fol. 32, no. M/74). Meissonnier was born in Turin, becoming particularly known in Paris where he worked. At the height of his career he was appointed architecte-dessinateur de la Chambre et du Cabinet du Roi, working as a silversmith, architect and designer directly for Louis XV.
