Torchère au tambourin
Torchère au tambourin
"Torchère au tambourin" was an answer from Carrier-Belluse to Garnier, who asked to design candelabra for the new Opera House. They were made by the goldsmith Christofle in 1873, by an electro-chemical technique called galvanoplasty in which the mould is dusted with metal. The two bronze candelabra are still in place in the Garnier Opera House, flanking the main staircase.

Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse(1824-1887) was a French sculptor. He was one of the founding members of the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts, and was made an officer of the Legion of Honour.
His name is perhaps best known because Auguste Rodin worked as his assistant between 1864 and 1870
