These wall-lights are of identical model to the pair of Louis XV silvered wall-lights at Schloss Charlottenburg, Berlin (illustrated in H. Ottomeyer, P. Proschel et al., Vergoldete Bronzen, Munich, 1986, vol. II, p.527, fig.3). Although unsigned, these latter wall-lights have been attributed to the fondeur Jean-Joseph de Saint-Germain (maitre in 1748) on the basis of their close stylistic affinity to a signed pair of wall-lights enriched with stag heads (op.cit., Vol.I, fig.2.2.5).
