This gilded bronze candelabrum, part of a pair, is a stunning example of the Egyptomania trend popular in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Created by Alexis Decaix, a French bronze caster, between 1797 and 1807, the candelabrum features a distinctive Egyptian-inspired design with stylized sphinxes and lotus blossoms, reflecting the fascination with ancient Egypt that swept through Europe after Napoleon’s Egyptian campaign. It now resides in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, a testament to the enduring appeal of this historical and artistic movement.
