Lot Essay

The present pair of twin-branch wall appliqués, decorated with zephyr masks, are in the manner of Jean-Joseph de Saint Germain (d.1791), being stylistically alike a pair of silvered wall-lights decorated with stags'-heads (Vergoldete Bronzen, fig.2.2.5). They are also very similar to a pair in the Schlöss Charlottenburg, Berlin, and to the pair illustrated in Vergoldete Bronzen, impressed with the crowned 'C'- mark for 1749.
