This pair of candelabra is extremely similar in the sideways positioning of the stags and candlebranches to a pair of German ormolu-mounted Meissen porcelain stag-form candelabra in the Residenz, Munich, illustrated in E. Bierende, 'Glanz und Pracht; Ostasiatisches Porzellan in den Reichen Zimmern der Münchner Residenz', Weltkunst, July 2002, p. 1022.
