Note du spécialiste

This impressive chandelier is inspired by the refined goût Grec designs of the dessinateur and bronzier Jean-Louis Prieur (1732-95). A closely related example created for the Royal Castle, Warsaw, is now in the dining room of the Musée Nissim de Camondo (245), and is illustrated in H. Ottomeyer, P. Pröschel et al., Vergoldete Bronzen, Munich, 1986, vol. I, p. 175, fig. 3.5.12.
