These Candlesticks are unsigned but attributed to the sculpture Christopher Fratin.
Born in Metz to a taxidermist father, Fratin gained an early knowledge of animal anatomy. He came to Paris as a young man and became a pupil of the celebrated painter Géricault. Fratin exhibited at the Salon from 1831 to 1863, almost consistently submitting bronze groups of animal subject matters.
