Paire de pique-cierges en fer forgé martelé, années 1950

Deux silhouettes noires, hautes et sèches, se dressent sur trois jambes arquées terminées en patins. Depuis le trépied, la tige s'élargit peu à peu en un fuseau à facettes, puis s'effile vers une coupelle plate d'où jaillit une seule pointe, faite pour recevoir le cierge. Partout le marteau a laissé sa trace, une peau de petites facettes irrégulières qui accrochent la lumière et la brisent en éclats sombres. Aux pieds, l'usure fait affleurer un métal plus clair. Rien n'est poli, tout est geste.

Le pique-cierge est un grand chandelier sur pied, muni d'une pointe où l'on fiche le cierge, tel qu'on le rencontre dans les églises. Dans les années 1950, les Artisans de Marolles, réunis autour de Jean Touret, produisent des chandeliers en fer forgé martelé de style brutaliste ; leur tout premier objet est un chandelier à trois pointes. Cette paire, datée de la même décennie et classée brutaliste, n'est rattachée ni à Marolles ni à aucun autre atelier ; aucune signature, aucun pays ne sont indiqués. Elle se lit d'abord par la main du forgeron.

Read in English

Two black silhouettes, tall and spare, stand on three arched legs ending in pad feet. From the tripod the stem swells gradually into a faceted spindle, then tapers towards a flat drip pan from which a single spike springs, made to receive the candle. Everywhere the hammer has left its trace, a skin of small irregular facets that catch the light and break it into dark glints. At the feet, wear brings a paler metal to the surface. Nothing is polished; everything is gesture.

The pricket is a large standing candlestick fitted with a spike on which the candle is set, as found in churches. In the 1950s the Artisans de Marolles, gathered around Jean Touret, produced Brutalist candlesticks in hammered wrought iron; their very first object was a three-spike candlestick. This pair, dated to the same decade and classed as Brutalist, is linked neither to Marolles nor to any other workshop; no signature and no country are given. It is read first through the smith's hand.

Sources and points to validate
  • Un pique-cierge est un grand chandelier sur pied, muni d'une pointe qui porte le cierge, utilisé dans les églises. https://churchantiques.com/product-tag/pricket/
  • Les Artisans de Marolles, autour de Jean Touret, ont produit dans les années 1950 des chandeliers en fer forgé martelé de style brutaliste ; le premier objet produit était un chandelier à trois pointes. https://www.1stdibs.com/introspective-magazine/jean-touret/
To be validated
  • Aucune signature, aucun atelier et aucun pays indiqués ; le rapprochement avec Marolles est un contexte de style, non une attribution.
  • Le style brutaliste et la datation des années 1950 sont ceux de la fiche ; ils n'ont pas été vérifiés.
  • Les dimensions ne précisent pas si elles concernent chaque pique-cierge ; nombre de pointes et finition non décrits.
  • Contexte fondé sur des sources de marchands, non sur une étude de la ferronnerie d'art des années 1950.
