Magnificent pair of biscuit porcelain and bronze candelabras from Sèvres, dating from the 19th century. These two-light candelabras depict children holding hunting horns. The inspiration for the cherub representation is clearly drawn from François Boucher's drawings.

This series of sets was commissioned by Empress Eugenie, who was passionate about 16th-century art. The candelabras are listed under number 239 in the Sèvres object catalog, making them an exceptionally rare pair.

The Manufacture Royale de Sèvres has a rich history dating back to 1740 when it was founded as the Manufacture de Vincennes with the support of Louis XV and Madame de Pompadour. In 1756, it was transferred to Sèvres into a magnificent building constructed under the supervision of architect Lindet and engineer Jean-Rodolphe Perronet. This vast edifice housed various workshops and artisans specializing in creating high-quality ceramics.

Measuring 31 cm in height and 13 cm x 13 cm in width, these candelabras showcase the exceptional craftsmanship and elegance for which Sèvres is renowned. They are in excellent condition, highlighting the meticulous attention to detail and refined artistry characteristic of the era.
