Specialist note

The design for these candelabra has traditionally been attributed to the architect Jean-Demosthène Dugourc (1749-1825) on the basis of a drawing in the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris (GF 21 no. 38.378). It is included in an album of designs for furniture subsequently delivered to both Madame Elisabeth and the comte de Provence and inscribed Dessiné par J.D. Dugourc, architecte et dessinateur Du Cabinet de Monsieur Frère Du Roi. Paris. 1790.
