A late 17th century sheet brass candelabrum, probably a tenebrae hearse, French, dated 1682
Topped by three brass drip-pans, the central pan set with a pricket, the two outer pans with wrapped sockets, the stem formed as three branches, possibly representing Solomonic columns, with stylised bunches of grapes between, inscribed with the words 'IEAN DE BROV' and the date '1682' below, on a later hessian-covered stand and base, excluding stand 51cm wide x 13cm deep x 42cm high, (20in wide x 5in deep x 16 1/2in high)
|Brov, originally Brovium, is a small village outside Bourg-en-Bress in Burgundy. The Royal Monastery of Brou was established by Margaret of Austria in the first quarter of the 16th century.A tenebrae hearse was a candelabrum used in funeral rites from at least as early as the 17th century. It is possible that Jean de Brov died in 1682 or, alternatively, that he gifted this to a church in that year.
