介绍（中）	功能性和高度装饰性的青铜器，即所谓的装饰青铜器——壁灯、烛台和其他类型的照明、火狗、壁炉配件和时钟——是十八世纪装饰的一个重要方面。著名的艺术家和雕塑家经常参与他们的设计，紧跟最新的风格这里，在雕塑家Clodion（Claude Michel，Nancy 1738-1814）的模型设计中，一只雄性（58.75.123）和一只雌性牧神（58.75.124），一半是人，一半是山羊，每个人都拿着一个五光的烛台。蜡烛枝的螺旋凹槽支撑采用了盛满水果和花朵的聚宝盆的形式。古铜色人物与镀金青铜烛台的对比尤其引人注目：镀金和古铜色的并置在新古典主义时期变得流行起来这些人物的葡萄和葡萄叶头饰，雌性牧神胸前的类似花环，左脚旁边的母羊和手鼓，以及悬挂在雄性牧神背部的平底锅管，赋予了这些烛台一个清晰的酒神主题。Clodion被认为是十八世纪末最优秀的小雕像建模师，经常创作出酒神般的作品这些烛台在十八世纪末和十九世纪很流行，并制作了许多不同的版本。
介绍（英）	Functional and highly decorative bronzes d’ameublement, the so-called furnishing bronzes – wall lights, candelabra and other types of lighting, firedogs, hearth fittings and clocks – were an important aspect of eighteenth century décor. Well-known artists and sculptors were frequently involved in their design, closely following the latest styles. Here, in a design derived from a model by the sculptor Clodion (Claude Michel, Nancy 1738–1814) a male (58.75.123) and a female faun (58.75.124), half-human and half-goat like mythological creatures, each hold a five-light candelabrum. The spiral fluted support of the candle branches takes the form of a cornucopia laden with fruits and flowers. The contrast of the patinated bronze figures with the gilt bronze candelabra is particularly striking: the juxtaposition of gilded and patinated bronzes became fashionable in the neo-classic period. The figures’ headdresses of grapes and vine leaves, a similar garland across the female faun’s chest, the ewer and tambourine next to her left hoof, as well as the pan pipes slung across the male faun’s back, give these candelabra a clear Bacchanalian theme. Clodion was considered the finest modeler of small-scale statuettes of the late eighteenth century and often created works of a Bacchanalian nature. These candelabra were popular in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and a number of different versions were made.
