Two pairs of candelabra of this model, but with eight branches were supplied by Claude Galle (d. 1815) in 1807 for the Salon D'Imperatrice, Château de Fontainebleau. In the 1808 inventory they are described as 'Deux paires á figures bronzes sur colonne et socle triangulaire portant 8 luminière á 2000, 4000' (J.-P. Samoyault, Pendules et Bronzes D'ameublement entrés sous le Premier Empire, Paris, 1989, p. 157, fig. 134). A further pair was delivered by Pierre-François Feuchère to the Chateau de Compiègne (H. Ottomeyer & P. Pröschel, Vergoldete Bronzen, Munich, 1986, vol. I, p. 334, fig. 5.2.16).
