These torchères can be attributed to John Moore based on their close similarity with a pair in the Royal Collection which is incised 'Moore' on the top rim (illustrated in R. Edwards and M. Jourdain, Georgian Cabinet-Makers, rev. edn., 1955, pl. 27 and 30).

James Moore (d. 1726) supplied large quantities of gilt gesso furniture in the fashionable French taste for the Royal palaces, often in partnership with John Gumley (G. Beard & C. Crilbert, eds., The Dictionary of English Furniture Makers 1660-1840, 1986, p. 618).
