Friederich Bergenfeldt, attributed to (b. Germany 1760, d. St. Petersburg c. 1814)
A pair of Russian gilt and patinated bronze candlesticks. St. Petersburg, early 19th century. H. 30 cm. (2).
Friederich Bergenfeldt (1760–1814/22) was a German born bronzier. He may well have worked in Paris before coming to St. Petersburg since his bronzes show a distinct similarity with the work of the Parisian bronzier Claude Gallé. 1801 he was back and working in St. Petersburg. Friederich Bergenfeldt was very productive and without doubt one of the finest bronziers ever to have worked in Russia.
