Claude GALLE (1759–1815), attributed to PAIR OF VESTAL CANDELABRES In gilded bronze with a patina, featuring three light holders shaped like oil lamps, each centered around an incense burner. On a stepped base of veined marble surmounting a foliage frieze. Early 19th century. Height: 53 cm Note. The oil lamp first appeared in the early 1780s in a preparatory drawing attributed to Thomire (collection of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris), which accompanied this revival of interest in antiquity. The Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg holds a pair in the same style, featuring a vestal virgin holding two double-wick lamps created by Claude Galle. Various versions of this model exist with different finishes.
