The Roman eagle bears the 1817 patent of the Strand plaster figure-maker and 'lamp manufacturer' James Deville (d. 1846), whose patent for that year also features on bronze colza lamps supplied for Southill, Bedfordshire (T. Clifford, 'The plaster shops of the rococo and neo-classical era in Britain', Journal of the History of Collections, 1992, p. 45).
