These candelabra were conceived in the 18th century French tradition of the 'goût Chinois' and reflect the creations devised by various marchand-merciers. Similar Chinoiserie figures were designed with differently modeled bases, sometimes incorporating porcelain flowers and decorated with vernis Martin.
This technique of lacquering bronze reflects the most sophisticated phase of this style and was done to resemble the finest and most expensive 17th century Japanese lacquer. (See C. Sargentson Merchants and Luxury Markets: The Marchands-Merciers of Eighteenth Century Paris, London, 1996).
