The present candelabra are copies of the celebrated model attributed to Pierre Gouthière which were supplied circa 1785 by the marchand-mercier Charles Darnault for the 'Grand Salon' or the 'Salon du Jeu de Mesdames' at Château de Bellevue. They are now in the Petit-Trianon at Versailles (P. Verlet, Les Bronzes Dorés Français du XVIIIe Siècle, Paris, 1987, p. 99, fig. 111). The model was notably favored by Henry Dasson, who executed a pair with bleu turquin marble dated 1882 and sold at Christie's, London, 1 October 2002, lot 208.
