Description

A rare pair of ormolu candelabra with kneeling figures of Victory Fire-gilt and burnished bronze candelabra on “rouge royal” marble plinths. Four-flame candelabra made from various separately cast pieces on oblong marble plinths. Designed as kneeling winged female figures embracing columns. H c. 73 cm. Paris or Vienna, attributed to Johann Georg Danninger, first quarter 19th C. Ottomeyer and Pröschel attribute this candelabra to Johann Georg Danninger. It is possible, however, that the model was produced in Paris, since the use of the rare dark marble from the Caunes-Minervois quarry in the Languedoc suggests a French commission. We only know the date of Johann Georg Danninger's death, which was in 1848, but we do not know when he was born. He is first mentioned in the archives of the Viennese royal court in 1801, and in 1811 he received the title of imperial court bronze smith. However, Danninger experienced great financial difficulties in the last years of his life, possibly because his Parisian competitors were able to produce more cheaply. Shortly before his death he was forced to sell his house and workshop at auction. His most famous work was the additions to the old French table centrepiece which was commissioned by Emperor Franz I in 1843 from Paris on occasion of Emperor Ferdinand's coronation as King of Lombardy and Venice in Milan in 1838. Provenance Private collection, Copenhagen. Literature An identical candelabra in the Magyar Iparmuvészeti Múzeum in Budapest (in: Ottomeyer/Pröschel, Vergoldete Bronzen, vol. I, Munich 1986, illus. 5.20.5). Cf. items from the dinner service for the Viennese royal court (in: Fliedl/Parenzan (ed.), Ehemalige Hofsilber- und Tafelkammer, Sammlungskatalog vol. I, Vienna 1996, p. 90 ff.) For more on Danninger cf. also: Ottilinger/Hanzl, Kaiserliche Interieurs: Die Wohnkultur des Wiener Hofes im 19. Jahrhundert, Vienna 1997, p. 64 ff. Ein seltenes Paar Kandelaber mit knienden Viktorien Feuervergoldete und brünierte Bronze, Marmor "rouge royal". Aus zahlreichen Gussteilen zusammengefügte, vierarmige Tischleuchter. Oblonge, quaderförmige Marmorbasis mit schrägen Ecken, darauf die vollplastische Figur einer knienden geflügelten Frau, mit beiden Händen eine große Säule umfassend. H ca. 73 cm. Paris oder Wien, Johann Georg Danninger, zugeschrieben, erstes Viertel 19. Jh. Ottomeyer/Pröschel schreiben diesen Kandelaber Johann Georg Danninger zu. Möglicherweise ist das Modell aber auch in Paris produziert worden, denn die Verwendung des seltenen dunklen Marmors aus dem Steinbruch Caunes-Minervois, Languedoc, spricht eher für einen französischen Auftrag. Von Johann Georg Danninger kennen wir nur sein Sterbedatum 1848, wissen aber nicht, wann er geboren wurde. Seit 1801 taucht er in den Akten der Wiener Hofbestellungen auf, 1811 erhielt er den Hoftitel als kaiserlicher Bronzeschmied. Danninger hatte in den letzten Lebensjahren große finanzielle Probleme, wohl auch, weil die Pariser Konkurrenz günstiger arbeitete. Er erlebte kurz vor seinem Tod noch die Versteigerung seines Hauses und seines Geschäfts. Sein berühmtestes Werk, die Ergänzungen zum altfranzösischen Tafelaufsatz, der 1838 anlässlich der Krönung Kaiser Ferdinands zum lombardisch-venezianischen König in Mailand in Paris in Auftrag gegeben wurde, bestellte Kaiser Franz I. im Jahr 1843. Provenienz Kopenhagener Privatsammlung. Literatur Ein gleicher Leuchter im Magyar Iparmuvészeti Múzeum in Budapest (bei Ottomeyer/Pröschel,Vergoldete Bronzen, Bd. I, München 1986, Abb. 5.20.5). Vgl. Teile des Tafelaufsatzes für den Kaiserlichen Hof in Wien (bei Fliedl/Parenzan (Hg.), Ehemalige Hofsilber- und Tafelkammer, Sammlungskatalog Bd. I, Wien 1996, S. 90 ff.) Zu Danninger s.a. Ottilinger/Hanzl, Kaiserliche Interieurs: Die Wohnkultur des Wiener Hofes im 19. Jahrhundert, Wien 1997, S. 64 ff.
