A pair of Louis XV style gilt-bronze three-light wall lights, 19th century, in the style of Philippe Caffieri

This model of wall lights, created by the famous bronze sculptor Philippe Caffieri, enjoyed great success. In the purest Rococo style, examples can be found at the Château de Fontainebleau (see J-P. Samoyault, Musée national du Château de Fontainebleau, Catalogue des collections de mobilier, 1. Pendules et bronzes d’ameublement entrés sous le Premier Empire, RMN, Paris, 1989, p.123, at the Quirinal Palace (see A. Gonzalez-Palacios, Il Patrimonio artistico del Quirinale, Gli Arredi Francesi, Milan, 1996, p.245, catalogue n°54) but also in public collections in Stockholm, the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and the musée Jacquemart-André in Paris (see G. Mabille, Le style Louis XV, Paris, 1978, p.172, fig.4).
