Maison Mottheau et Fils, Japonist gilt-bronze chandelier

Ref.14224
Maison Mottheau et Fils, Japonist gilt-bronze chandelier

Founded in 1864 by Maison Mottheau et Fils, when Ernest Mottheau was only 23 years old, the firm became one of the great Parisian names in the design and manufacture of chandeliers and candelabra. Ernest Mottheau frequently collaborated with sculptors in the creation of certain works. The firm took part in the Universal Exhibitions of 1867, 1878, 1889 (gold medal), and 1900. The 1900 Universal Exhibition crowned a lifetime of work, as Ernest Mottheau was awarded a Grand Prix for La Nature, a torchère in onyx and gilt bronze created in collaboration with the ornamental sculptor Eugène Piat, making full use of the possibilities offered by the then-new electrical technology. Designed around 1900, this Japonist chandelier with dragons in gilt bronze by Maison Mottheau is fitted with seven lights. It features three dragons descending onto an openworked hexagonal band. The winged creatures are finely chased, their jaws open in a powerful expression. Pierced Japonist motifs, evoking architectural elements, alternate with the dragons along the band. Flowering plum branches emerge from within these openwork motifs, while flower-shaped glass shades cover the bulbs. The lower section holds an engraved glass bowl and terminates in a fleuron motif.
