Moreover, these wall lights are the full model of a pair which is in the Louvre, dated 1740, with the inventory number: OA6504-1;OA6504-2
They have three lights by movements opposed in pairs, each binet is different and the carving is deep and elegant.
One binet is in the shape of an exploded pomegranate (fruit), the second in a coil of leaves and the third in flowers tightly packed in foliage.
The plate is in the shape of bundles of stems and leaves carrying the naturalist arms of light which also reproduce branches bearing buds and flowers. The binets are cast in one piece with the arms while emerging from foliage, this rich work denotes a complexity of bronze casting, it is a process that we will no longer find in the 19th century, the design in several parts ( screwed) being simpler than complex foundry acts.
