CIRCA 1775
The baluster bodies with pierced scrolled acanthus handles suspended with pearled chains, the neck issuing lily-sprays, the nozzles naturalistically modeled as open lily flowers on an acanthus cup and spreading marble socle and stepped square plinth, the moulded base with guilloche panels
38¼ in. (97.5 cm.) high

Acquired from Poulet, Versailles, 7 February 1923.

Note du spécialiste

The use of distinctive lily-spray branches was au courant from the 1780s, and is featured on François-Joseph Bélanger's design for a mantelpiece garniture, now in the musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris (H. Ottomeyer, P. Pröschel et al., Vergoldete Bronzen, Munich, 1986, 4.11.13).
