A Pair of Néo-Grec Parcel-Gilt Patinated Bronze Vases Mounted as Lamps
By Henry Cahieux and Ferdinand Barbedienne
Located in Brighton, West Sussex
A Pair of Néo-Grec Parcel-Gilt Patinated Bronze Vases Mounted as Lamps, Cast by Ferdinand Barbedienne, from the Model by Henry Cahieux.
Each vase is finely cast with herm-headed handles flanking a slender elongated neck above a tapering body relief-cast with classical figures and anthemion, raised on a square Belgian black marble bases.
Cast signatures 'F. BARBEDIENNE FONDEUR.' and 'HENRY CAHIEUX'.
This model of vase was exhibited by Barbedienne at the 1855 Paris 'Exposition Universelle' to great acclaim. They were illustrated in the Exhibition Catalogue alongside a classical revival tripod. The pair of vases together with another were described as follows: The two vases (...) selected from many exquisite and beautiful decorative works in bronze from the atelier of Messrs. Barbedienne & Cie, of Paris; they are formed, and ornamented, on the best models of the ancient Greek.
The tall slender shape of the vases with their elongated necks and a flaring mouth, in the form of anamphora with two handles, is derived from ancient Greek Loutrophoroi, which were ceremonial vases...

Pair of "Bamboo" Stands attr. to H. Cahieux & F. Barbedienne France, circa 1855
By Henry Cahieux and Ferdinand Barbedienne
Located in PARIS, FR
A similar model presented at the 1855 Paris Universal Exhibition
Total height : 154 cm (60 5/8 in.) ; Width : 33 x 33 cm (13 x 13 in.)
Cup : height 17 cm (6 ¾ in.)
Beautiful pair of bronze stands also named Bamboo candelabra. Each rests on three claw feet adorned with lion heads and separated with palms. A bamboo shaped shaft arises from this tripod and is topped with three buds supporting a circular red griotte marble top on which stands a cup in the Ancient style decorated with ivy.
The sobriety of the decoration enhances the quality of the bronze cast and the patina shades. The small chains falling from the top animates this work of a sleek design.
The model :
The design of these stands, inspired from Ancient tripods, is a well-known model in Ferdinand Barbedienne’s production as it was reused many times by the bronze-caster. Designed by the head-decorator Henri Cahieux, this model was edited by the Barbedienne Company as soon as 1855, named Ancient candelabra lamp-holder h. 1m35 and was sold 440 francs. From 1875, these stands were commercialised under the name Bamboo candelabra, tripod, lamp-holder and were offered in three heights : 1m90, 1m70 and 1m35. This model of stand could then be found in all catalogues of the Barbedienne Company.
This pair of candelabras allows us to see how F. Barbedienne offered during decades a range of furniture from the designs of his decorator. This type of stand could be seen in different interior decorations of the Second Empire
A model similar to ours was presented by the Barbedienne Company at the 1855 Universal Exhibition. For this occasion Empress Eugénie bought it for her toilet at Saint-Cloud Castle. A watercolor by Fortuné de Fournier made in 1860 shows them, set on both sides of a cheval mirror made by the Fourdinois Company. (see photo attached)
This model pleased the Empress so much that she ordered two other pairs in 1858 for her boudoirs at Compiègne and Fontainebleau Palaces.
Otherwise similar stands took place in the Pompeiian house built in 1856 by the architect Alfred Normand (1822-1909) for Prince Napoléon. Several pictures and engravings of this house show us these candelabras used...

Antique Gilt Bronze and White Onyx Candelabrum by Barbedienne and Cahieux
By Henry Cahieux and Ferdinand Barbedienne
Located in London, GB
Mounted on an onyx base, this Grecian style gilt bronze candelabrum is of vase form, which is topped by twelve lights. The piece is signed ‘F. Barbedienne, Fondeur' and 'Henry Cahieux’.
Head decorator at the Barbedienne bronze foundry, Cahieux was a highly skilled designer who principally worked in the Greek style. He was well-respected in his time and submitted designs to the Paris Salons of 1850 and 1853.
All four facades of the onyx pedestal are decorated with gilt bronze, including floral mounts and beading and the piece is set on four toupie feet. Above, the main body of the candelabrum takes the form of a loutrophoros vase, with its elongated neck and twin handles. Historically, these vases were used to carry water, particularly for a bride’s pre-nuptial bath and in the performance of funeral rites. Possibly relating to its historic function, the vase is ornamented with an imitation of a relief carving, showing a woman pouring water...
