I purchased these candlesticks recently at auction, which were attributed as "in the style of Handel" based upon similar lamp bases from that company. I haven't seen the Handel lamps in question that prompted the tenuous attribution, and I was hoping that one of the expert members here might be able to enlighten the situation and firm up any attribution. The style, I would say, is Etruscan-like. The candlesticks are very well made of patinated bronze, but sadly neither has an identifying mark or stamp as far as I can see.
Regards to all, Jeff |

These candlesticks are fabulous! I do not know who the maker is. I have seen similar designs by Tiffany and they were pretty good about marking their pieces. Both appear to be by the same maker.
Congratulations on acquiring them. Best, Fred Fred (Moderator) http://fredz49.blogspot.com/ |

I think I solved this mystery. The following candelabra is being auctioned with very similar features and construction and it is marked Riviere Studios. So, I think I have a match (see photos for comparison). Anyone have a good reference suggestion for Riviere Studios Arts-Crafts wares? Reprint catalogs, etc?

Jeff,
Looks like you found the maker to your candlesticks. Congratulations! It appears that Riviere Studios imitated many of the Tiffany designs. I recently saw a desk set that was a dead ringer for the pierced copper and glass slag that Tiffany made popular. I believe they too were based in New York. Thanks for sharing what you have found with the rest of us. Fred (Moderator) http://fredz49.blogspot.com/ |
