Acquired from Charles Kriz Antiques, Chicago, 1963. The James and Marilynn Alsdorf Collection, Chicago.
These fine candelabra relate to the oeuvre of the celebrated Turinese bronzista Francesco Ladatte (1706-1787), chiefly remembered for his distinctive interpretation of the naturalistic rococo idiom, as exemplified on the series of wall-lights in the Palazzo Reale, Turin (illustrated in V. Viale et al., 'Mostra del Barocco Piemontese', Exhibition Catalogue, Turin, 1963, figs. 298-301), where much of his production remain to this day. The breadth of Ladatte's production is rather impressive as he is known to have executed not only objets d'art and mounts for furniture but also large-scale sculptures and reliefs. A comparable set of four figures sold from The Collection of Evelyn Annenberg Hall from 640 Park Avenue, Christie's, New York, 17 May 2006, lot 377, and a related pair of wall-lights sold from the Collection of Juan de Beistegui, Christie’s, Paris, 10 September 2018, lot 11.
