Pair Of Candlestick Cassolettes – Circa 1810 – Pierre-Philippe Thomire. A very fine pair of attractive ormolu and bronze cassolette candlesticks dating to the French Empire period circa 1810. The chiseled ormolu body in the form of an urn flanked by patinated bronze zoomorphic handles resting on a cylindrical bronze body decorated with ormolu appliques depicting playful putti with chalice and bunches of grapes. The whole raised on a bronze square base decorated with engine turned ormolu collars. The pair are surmounted with a reversible chiseled ormolu bobeche decorated with an acorn finial.
