The model appears to be after a design by Royal Goldsmith Jacques Rottiers. The drawing by Rottiers appears in the 1748 work by Pierre Germain, `Elements d'orfevrerie...' no. 71. in which drawings by Germain himself as well as Rottiers were illustrated. No 71 may have been a drawing for a royal commission as 72, another candelabra similar in concept and detail includes a crown as part of the ornament. Two examples of this model recently sold at Christie's London, 2nd November 2016, lot 160a.
