Rare Pair of Display Stands with Three Atlas-Term Figures
Louis XIV Period
An outstanding pair of display stands crafted in patinated lead imitating bronze, each composed of three back-to-back atlas figures rendered in term form.
The figures extend their arms to support gadrooned bowls, evoking stylised flames.
The triple-fluted shafts are partially highlighted with gilding, enhancing their sculptural rhythm.
Mounted on moulded “griotte red” marble plinths, offering both elegance and visual contrast.
Dimensions: Height 69 cm – Diameter 27 cm
A rare testament to the ornamental grandeur of the Louis XIV period, combining monumental form, symbolic fire imagery, and masterful play of material illusion.
