拍品专文

Designed in the Louis XV 'pittoresque' style popularised by Juste-Auréle Meissonier and Nicolas Pineau, these wall-lights are inspired by models initially designed by Charles Cressent. Similar wall-lights were subsequently supplied by the 'sculpteur, fondeur et ciseleur du roi' Jacques Caffiéri (1678-1755). In the Inventory drawn up following his death in 1755, no.43 is described as 'un autre model double de bras de chemine ancien perroquets à deux branches', and this model was already listed in an earlier inventory of his stock in 1747.
