Notes

Cette paire de candélabres à trois bras de lumière présente Zéphyr et son épouse, Flore portant tous deux une longue corne d'abondance en bronze doré finement torsadée de laquelle émergent des fleurs et feuillages et les bras de lumière, prolongement de la corne d'abondance. Les bassins circulaires à cannelures supportent des binets ciselés d'élégantes feuilles d'eau. On reconnait Zéphyr à ses ailes de papillon, la présence de nuages sur lesquels il semble marcher et le panier de fleurs à ses pieds renversé par le vent qu'il personnifie.
La base cylindrique en marbre rouge griotte est posée sur un contresocle carré en bronze doré souligné d'un tore de laurier.
Ce modèle est identique à celui conservé à la Frick Collection à New
York attribué à François Rémond et daté entre 1788 et 1803 . Dans les livres de comptes de François Rémond, on trouve des candélabres aux figures de ��éphyr et Flore entre novembre 1788 et 1803. Christian Baulez suggère que ce modèle fut créé par le bronzier Jean-Rémy Carrangeot, dont il est mentionné des liens professionnels avec Rémond avant sa faillite en 1787. Il semblerait que Rémond ait acquis des modèles de Carrangeot à cette époque.
Une paire de candélabres avec ces mêmes personnages est inventorié
dans les collections du Comte Greffulhe lors de sa vente à Londres en
juin 1937.
Ce modèle fait partie des nombreuses variantes de candélabres supportés par des nymphes, satyres, bacchantes, vestales ou putti
que les bronziers, dont François Rémond en tête, réalisèrent sous le règne de Louis XVI et que l'on peut retrouver dans les institutions muséales, comme le Musée du Louvre ou la Wallace Collection.
Il continua de produire des modèles au début du XIXe siècle comme
en témoignent les candélabres conservés au Louvre qui adoptent
les nouveaux canons stylistiques, notamment avec la présence de
palmettes et lotus .
