拍品专文

This chandelier is based on the model made by Jacques Caffiéri between 1750 and 1755. After hanging at the château d'Anet, a French Royal residence, it was transferred to the Biblothèque Mazarine, Paris, where it still remains.

It is illustrated in H. Ottomeyer & P. Pröschel, Vergoldete Bronzen, Klinkhardt & Biermann, Munich, 1986, p.137.
