Catalogue Note
Cette paire de candélabres présentant un superbe travail de fonte et de ciselure est identique à une paire dans la manière de Jean-Charles Delafosse (1734-1789) conservée dans la Jones Collection (985-1882) au Victoria and Albert Museum à Londres et illustrée dans Ottomeyer/Pröschel, op. cit., p.186, fig. 3.9.4. Ces deux paires peuvent être rapprochées d’un dessin d'un candélabre à deux bras de lumières par Delafosse également reproduit dans cet ouvrage, p. 186, fig. 393.
