Pair of Ormolu and Bronze Candelabra in the Style of Thomas Hope

19th century
Description

An impressive pair of early 19th Century English 2-light Candelabra in the manner of Thomas Hope, in the form of classical ladies with outstretched arms holding circular trays mounted with "basket weave" candleholders. The ladies standing on circular engine-turned platforms, raised on Sienna marble bases. Further Information: The figures are dressed in a peplos, a typical attire for women in Ancient Greece in the Classical Period (500 BC), usually represented in Greek vase painting from the 5th Century BC and in the metopes of temples in the Doric order. A similar design to these figures could be found in Thomas Hope's representation of the goddess Juno from ancient statues in 'Costumes of the Ancients' (p.97) He depicted in his 1809 book 'Costumes of the Ancients' simple and direct versions of Phrygian, Dacian, Ancient Greek and Roman dresses.

The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Thomas Hope style candelabra draw inspiration from classical Greek, Roman, and Egyptian antiquity, featuring motifs such as caryatid figures, geometric symmetry, and restrained Neoclassical proportions typical of the early nineteenth-century Regency movement.

Neoclassical candelabra were predominantly crafted using patinated bronze or gilded bronze for detailed figurative elements, often supported by solid marble or porphyry bases for stability and tonal contrast.

Authentic pieces feature cast metal assembly with threaded rods or square nuts, sharp hand-chased surface details, age-appropriate patination, and natural stone plinths rather than resin or modern composite bases.

A symmetrical pair works effectively when placed at opposite ends of a fireplace mantelpiece, atop a dining room sideboard, or flanking a central mirror on a console table.

Dust gently using a soft microfibre cloth or horsehair brush, avoiding chemical cleaners or abrasive polishes that can strip the delicate historic patina or etch the stone surface.
