With their naturalistic scrolling acanthus branches, these wall-lights reflect the Louis XV 'pittoresque' style promoted by marchands-merciers such as Lazare Duvaux, who is known to have employed the bronzier Jean-Claude Duplessis. Three-branch wall-lights of closely related design, including one in the Wrightsman Collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, are illustrated in H. Ottomeyer, P. Pröschel, et.al., Vergoldete Bronzen, Munich, 1986, vol. I, p. 143, figs. 2.11.17 and 2.11.18.
