Pair of candlesticks ca. 1745 Attributed to Juste Aurèle Meissonnier French A 1728 design for a candlestick by Juste-Aurèle Meissonnier (1695-1750) incorporated a pair of entwined children in its spirally twisted stem. The three drawings for this model were engraved by Louis Desplaces (1682-1739) and published in Deuxième livre de loeuvre de J.A. Meissonnier, Chandeliers de sculpture en argent in 1734. This highly sculptural model proved to be very fashionable and was executed with variations both in gilt bronze and in porcelain (an example from the famous Meissen swan service for Count Brühl of 1739 is on view in the German and Austrian Galleries)..
