Pair of Bronze Stork Candlesticks

19th century
Description

A very fine Pair of Bronze Stork / Crane Candlesticks cast in the manor of Storks stood on turtles backs legs wrapped by snakes whilst holding carp in their beaks finished with a single candle sconce.

These Candlesticks are unsigned but attributed to the sculpture Christopher Fratin.

Fratin, along with Antoine-Louis Barye, was one of the earliest animalier sculptors who specialized in an animated and ruggedly realistic style. 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.
