The International Exhibition: figures bearing candelabra, in the French Court... 1862. Creator: Unknown
The International Exhibition: figures bearing candelabra, in the French Court, by Messrs. Miroy Brothers, Paris, 1862. These works are not favoured with very conspicuous positions in the exhibition, where they occur in a compartment under the gallery at the north side of the French Court to which there is no access from the nave. They are bronzed casts of armour-clad lifesize figures, the one bearing a standard, the other a spear, and to the spear and the flagstaff the fifteen branches which bear the sockets for the lights are attached. Each branch from the central stem is inclined downwards, terminates in a light, and branches into two smaller arms, which are also terminated in lights. The whole work is rendered brilliant by glass lustres, which are pendent from the parts of the work'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, titled 'The International Exhibition: figures bearing candelabra, in the French Court,' showcases a pair of lifesize bronzed casts created by the Miroy Brothers in Paris during the International Exhibition of 1862. The figures, one holding a standard and the other a spear, are adorned with fifteen branches that bear the sockets for candles. Each branch bends downwards, terminating in a light, and branches into two smaller arms, also ending in lights. The entire work is illuminated by glass lustres, which hang from various parts of the sculptures. The Miroy Brothers' creations, although not occupying prominent positions in the exhibition, were displayed in a compartment under the north side of the French Court, which was not accessible from the nave. The sculptures were a marvel of art and engineering during the 19th century, reflecting the cultural significance of the Great London Exposition of 1862. The Illustrated London News reported on these works, highlighting their brilliance and intricacy. The image captures the essence of the sculptures' grandeur, transporting us back to an era of gas lighting, ornate decorations, and artistic innovation.
