Note du spécialiste

These Egyptian herm wall-lights in the antique manner are closely related to a design from the workshops of Deharme, now in the Bibliothèque Marmottan, Paris (illustrated in N. de Reynies, Le Mobilier Domestique, Paris, 1987, vol. II, p. 731, fig. 2712).
Closely related pairs were sold anonymously at Sotheby's Monaco, 16 June 1990, lot 896 and 30 November 1986, lot 919, and another almost identical pair from an important private collection was offered Christie's, London, 15 June 1995, lot 54.
