A masterpiece of French silversmithing by Christofle

We offer you an exceptional pair of three-light candelabras from the prestigious Dupérier model, produced by the renowned French silversmith house Christofle.

True works of decorative art, these candelabras embody all the elegance and refinement of the Louis XIV style reinterpreted by one of the world's greatest silversmithing houses. They bear the Christofle signature and demonstrate the remarkable craftsmanship that has brought the manufacturer international renown.

The Dupérier model holds a special place in the history of Christofle's heritage. It pays tribute to Louis Dupérier, a master silversmith accepted in 1706 under the reign of the Sun King. The heritage archives of Maison Christofle confirm that this creation is directly inspired by his work and faithfully reproduces the main aesthetic codes of the Grand Siècle: powerful gadroons, palmettes, rosettes, architectural volumes, and perfect symmetry of lines.

Each candelabra rests on a richly decorated base from which three majestically curved light arms rise. The quality of the chasing, the richness of the reliefs, and the balance of the proportions give the whole a spectacular presence, worthy of the most beautiful French residences.

This prestigious lineage is reinforced by the existence of a pair of original Louis Dupérier torches now preserved at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, one of the world's leading institutions in the field of decorative arts.

Maison Christofle has thus achieved a remarkable synthesis between historical heritage and contemporary excellence, making the Dupérier model one of the emblematic models of its heritage catalog. Even today, this creation is among the historical models honored in the manufacturer's Vintage selection.

Thanks to their timeless elegance and exceptional quality of execution, these candelabras will naturally find their place in a chateau, a private mansion, a character residence, or within a significant collection dedicated to French decorative arts.

A rare piece for enthusiasts of Maison Christofle's finest creations.
