These 'girandole' wall-lights, conceived in the late l8th century French/antique fashion popularised by Thomas Sheraton's, Cabinet-Maker and Upholsterer's Drawing Book, (1793), relate to a girandole at Halnaby Hall, Yorkshire (see M. Jourdain, Regency Furniture, London, 1965, p.95, fig.228). Other related girandoles, guarded by Jupiter eagles were sold in the Michael Lipitch Collection, Sotheby's, London, 22 May 1998, lot 116.
