Catalogue Note
Ce modèle existe avec quelques variantes, comme la paire passée en vente à Paris, palais d'Orsay le 13 juin 1979, lot 34 qui possédait un décor de bretté sur la base à la place de la guirlande de feuillages. On le rencontre parfois avec un bouquet de lumières amovible permettant de transformer les flambeaux en candélabres.
