These candlesticks relate to designs by Juste-Aurèle Meissonnier (1695-1750), golsdmith to Louis XV, which were engraved by Gabriel Huquier (1695-1772) and published in Le Livre de chandeliers de sculpture en argent.
This pair of candlesticks were possibly originally conceived as a pair of candelabra with removable branches, as a pair of candelabra with identical shafts to the present lot is now in the collection of Residenzmuseum, Munich (BIII 10-14), and can be seen illustrated by H. Ottomeyer & P. Pröschel, Vergoldete Bronzen, Vol. I, Munich, 1986, p. 105, fig. 2.1.9.
