An almost identical candelabra with a Chantilly model of a magot is now in the David Collection, Copenhagen inv. no. 44/1974. For a Chantilly model with similar characteristics and a discussion of the type see Linda H. Roth and Clare Le Corbeiller, French Eighteenth-Century Porcelain at the Wadsworth Atheneum: The J. Pierpont Morgan Collection, 2000, p. 41, no. 17.
