HISTORIC PROVENANCE
The Candle Holder Decaix is inspired by an Egyptian-style pair of candelabras designed by Alexis Decaix (British, active 1778–1811) for Goodwood House in southern England between around 1802 and 1806. Referred to as “Egyptomania” candelabras, their design was influenced by Napoleon Bonaparte’s North African campaign of 1798. Napoleon was accompanied on his expedition by a team of scholars who recorded their findings, and the resulting publication by Baron Vivant Denon (French, 1747–1825) on the monuments of the Nile Valley had a significant influence on design.
