Un lustre de bronze en feuillages rocaille, de style Louis XV

Le fût se tord comme une tige de feuillage : acanthes découpées, enroulements, une petite fleur d'un ton cuivré accrochée en son milieu. Sous une couronne ajourée, le bronze, d'une teinte dorée et chaude, se ramifie en bras souples qui portent, sur deux étages, de nombreuses lumières à fausses bougies crème, chacune posée sur une bobèche en forme de feuille. Des marguerites de métal ponctuent les volutes. Au bas, une coupe godronnée s'achève en graine pendante. Aucune pendeloque ne vient troubler la lecture du métal, laissé seul à ses reflets.

Le style Louis XV s'affirme vers 1710 et connaît, entre 1730 et 1750, sa phase rocaille, faite de courbes et de feuillages. Le bronze doré, ou ormolu, s'était alors développé en France pour orner meubles, pendules, lustres, candélabres et cadres. Au XIXe siècle, les lustres de style Louis XV en bronze doré, associés ou non au cristal et au verre, deviennent un type courant : ils interprètent le rocaille sans appartenir à l'époque. La fiche date celui-ci du XIXe siècle, le range dans le style Louis XV-Transition et ne nomme aucun atelier.

Read in English

The stem twists like a stalk of foliage: cut acanthus, scrolls, a small copper-toned flower caught at its middle. Beneath a pierced crown the bronze, of a warm gilded tone, branches into supple arms that carry, on two tiers, many lights with cream candle sleeves, each set on a leaf-shaped drip pan. Metal daisies punctuate the volutes. Below, a gadrooned bowl ends in a hanging seed-pod finial. No drops disturb the reading of the metal, left alone with its reflections.

Louis XV style asserted itself around 1710 and knew, between 1730 and 1750, its rocaille phase of curves and foliage. Gilt bronze, or ormolu, had by then developed in France to adorn furniture, clocks, chandeliers, candelabra and frames. In the nineteenth century, Louis XV style chandeliers in gilt bronze, with or without crystal and glass, became a common type: they interpret the rocaille without belonging to the period. The listing dates this one to the nineteenth century, files it under the Louis XV Transition style and names no workshop.

To be validated
  • Lustre de style : la fiche ne prétend pas à l'époque Louis XV et aucun atelier n'est nommé.
  • Dorure, nombre de bras, pendeloques et montage électrique non décrits.
  • Le champ Style indique Louis XV - Transition alors que le titre dit Louis XV ; la fiche ne développe pas la différence.
  • Dimensions sans unité (95 x 95), non vérifiées ; le poids du bronze n'est pas indiqué, ce qui compte pour l'accrochage.
