拍品專文

These unusual wall-lights with foliate branches issuing from a moustache and nozzles decorated with rosettes, were perhaps executed specifically for an entresol or a cabinet due to their moderate dimensions.Two related patterns are known, the first with only one arm emerging from the mouth of the mask, tas in the present example, the other with two arms emerging above the head. Of this first model, one pair sold Christie's, Paris, 13 April 2017, lot 261 (32,500 EUR), and another from the Collection of Bernard and Simone Steinitz, sold Sotheby's, Paris, 30 June 2016, lot 121 (37,500 EUR).
