These wall-lights derive from a design executed circa 1770 by Richard de Lalonde (n.d.), which was formerly discussed in H. Ottomeyer, P. Pröschel et al., Vergoldete Bronzen, Munich, 1986, vol. I, p. 172, fig. 3.5.3, and was then attributed to Jean-Louis Prieur.
A pair of wall-lights of similar design, but with three lights, appear in an aquarelle dated 1784 depicting the Grand Salon of the château de Chantilly. Grand Duke Pavel Petrovich of Russia who owned the drawing at one point subsequently acquired a set of four wall-lights to that design for his so-called Tapestry Study at Pavlovsk (E. Ducamp, Pavlovsk, The Collection, Paris, 1993, p. 194 and fig. 52).
A pair of related wall-lights almost certainly acquired by Peter, 5th Earl Cowper (d. 1836) for Panshanger, Hertfordshire, was sold by Mr. and Mrs. Julian Salmond, in these Rooms, 7 December 1995, lot 19.
