This athénienne is based on antique bronze prototypes. A set of four nearly identical parcel-gilt torchères of circa 1810-1820 with flowerheads below the figures and differing feet, originally from the villa Marchi in Lucca, is illustrated in A.M. Massinelli, Il Mobile Toscano, Milano, 1993, p. 97, fig. 173.
