Gagneau à Paris, of 115 rue Lafayette 'ci devant B. d'Enghien', is first recorded in 1817 with his invention of a mechanical oil-lamp. However, these lampe-bouillottes, with their stylised palmette baluster shafts, are reminiscent of the four pairs of candlesticks supplied by Thomire-Duterme et cie. in 1810 for the Palais de Fontainebleau (J.P. Samoyault, Pendules et bronzes d'ameublement entrés sous le Premier Empire, Paris, 1989, no.178, p.192).
