A Louis XVI Style Gilt-Bronze Six-Light Chandelier ‘Aux Termes’.
The central blue-painted tole bowl with spirally fluted lid and pomegranate finial. Modelled with three caryatid term figures holding spiral branches issuing candle nozzles. Hung from three loop chains.
This chandelier is reduced in scale from a celebrated model attributed to the bronzier François Rémond dating to circa 1785. It hangs in the Nissim de Camondo museum in Paris (Inv. CAM 146). Another, is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (1972.242). The model was revived in the nineteenth century by bronziers including Henry Dasson and Alfred Beurdeley.

The ciseleur-doreur François Rémond (1747-1812), was a leading Parisian gilder and bronzier during the second half of the 1700’s.
He began his apprenticeship in 1763 with the doreur Pierre-Antoine Vial, and was elected maître on 14 December 1774. He worked principally for the marchand mercier Dominique Daguerre, although he was also employed directly by ébénistes such as David Roentgen and Jean-Henri Riesener and collaborated on some pieces with the bronze caster Pierre Gouthière, helping him on some of his larger projects.
Rémond built up a successful business patronised by members of the French court, counting Marie-Antoinette, the Comte d’Artois, the Duc de Penthièvre and the Comte d’Adhémar amongst his principal patrons.
