These candlesticks are based on a design attributed to Jean-Demosthène Dugourc (1749-1825) and included in an album of designs delivered to both Madame Elizabeth and the comte de Provence. This related model is first recorded on 26 June 1783, when the ciseleur-fondeur François Rémond invoiced the marchand-mercier Dominique Daguerre 'Pour fonte, facon et dorure mate d'une paire de grands flambeaux a 4 figures et a guirlandes et fleur, etc 1050 livres', therefore pointing to the likelihood of this model of candlestick having been originally supplied through Daguerre.
