With their exuberantly sculpted foliage, putti, and beasts, these torchres relate to the work of the scultore Andrea Fantoni of Bergamo (1659-1734). In particular, they resemble Fantoni's table in the Accademia Carrara (see A. Gonzalez-Palacios, Il Mobile Nei Secoli, Milan, vol.1, 1969) and another table by him illustrated in A. and A. Disertori, Il Mobile Lombardo, Milan, 1992, p.119.
