Pair of bronze tripod candlesticks,

Magnificent pair of animal candlesticks, created in 1865 by frédéric-eugène piat, ornamental sculptor, for the perrot house, located in paris, custodian of these works, like the greatest bronze casters of the time (barbedienne, deniere, marchand). The model is inspired by the universal exhibition planned for 1967, where an art appears mixing plants, butterflies and birds from japan. Signature on the base.
