This third volume in the Frick Diptych series offers fresh insight
into a pair of candelabra that represent the pinnacle of luxury and
taste in the years prior to the French Revolution. Vignon tells the
fascinating story of these objects that are made of two small white
vases with extraordinary gilt-bronze mounts by Pierre Gouthiere,
the celebrated eighteenth-century French chaser and gilder.
Vignon's essay is paired with a text by De Waal in which he
examines what it is to make, own, and desire such complex objects
