Designed in the Louis XVI 'Gôut Grec' style of circa 1765-70, these wall lights belong to the group traditionally associated with Jean-Loius Prieur (maître in 1752). This stylistic attribution is based upon similarities shared with designs for wall lights from an album that is split between the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris and the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles.
