These caryatic bacchantes bronzes derive from a model by the celebrated sculptor Jean-Jacques [James] Pradier (d. 1852), whose work was popularised from the 1840s by the Parisian founders Victor, Amadee and Eugene Susse, trading as Susse Frères in Place de la Bourse. The candelabrum pattern is conceived in the Louis XVI style, and might be that listed as 'Pradier, ses Femmes grecques portant des candelabres, sept lumieres' in Le Dr. le Roy de Sainte-Croix, L'Art Industriel et Ornamental Français - La Maison Susse Frères, Paris, 1875 (P. Cadet, Susse Frères, Paris, 1992, p. 54, p. 182).
