5-Light Caryatid Candelabras by Jacob Petit for Rihouet, Set of 2

About This Piece

Vintage Design

Here is an exceptional pair of candelabras, made of porcelain and monogrammed. They are Restoration-inspired, with decorations of caryatids, columns and Corinthian capitals. They are signed Rihouet rue de la Paix and JP on the inside of the base. These are exceptional, large-scale, spectacular pieces. Jacob Mardochée (1797-1868), better known by his pseudonym Jacob Petit, was a leading figure on the French decorative porcelain scene. Although he did not enjoy the success he had hoped for during his lifetime, he is still highly prized by collectors for the quality of his creations and the originality of his forms. Louis Marie François Rihouët began work in 1818, and in 1824 was awarded the title of faïencier du Roi. Rihouët porcelain, with or without an address, is of the highest quality. For the most part, they are table services, with a numeral or coat of arms, as Rihouët had a select and wealthy clientele, including the King of Portugal. Unfortunately, these candelabras are subject to numerous accidents (visible in the photos): a foot is missing, a figure is missing, the barrels are missing at the top and bottom, one has a through crack on the bowl, the other has stains on the underside of the bowl, the crowns of the figures have chips and wear, and the central fire is missing.
