Charles Percier designed identical figural models as upright supports for a console table in 1802, for which the original pen and ink drawing can be found in the Louvre (RF30630). For an illustration of the design see H. Ottomeyer and P. Proschel, Vergoldete Bronzen, fig. 5.3.4. p. 336.
Ottomeyer and Proschel also illustrate one of a pair of candelabra stamped by Thomire, again with identical bronze figural supports, ibid. fig 5.3.3. p. 336. Compare also the console table delivered by Thomire and Duterne in 1812 to the Garde Meuble, again with identical bronze figures and now in the Grand Trianon (see D. Ledoux-Lebard, Inventaire Général du Musée Nationale de Versailles et des Trianons, I, Le Grand Trianon, Meubles et Objets d’Art, pp. 20-21). A pair of candelabra with identical figural supports and stamped by Thomire was shown by the Galerie Gismondi in the Biennale des Antiquaires de Monaco, July/August 1991. Another pair with same figures and ormolu mounted pedestal was sold from the Michael Inchbald Collection, Christie’s London, 22 January 2014, lot 136 (£434,500).
Another pair of candelabra by Thomire was part of the imperial furniture collection of the Château de Saint-Cloud around 1828, in the salon des jeux of the Charles X apartments and now in the Garde-Meuble, with identical female bronze models (J. M. Humbert, et al, Egyptomania, 1994, p. 286).
Many of the examples seen have contrasting gilt-bronze parts for the clothing and the headpiece. The closest comparable pair by Thomire featuring the same fully patinated bronze female support, with a different arrangement of candle-branches, would be the pair delivered to Czar Paul I, in the nouveau cabinet de travail of the Pavlovsk Palace’s ground floor (A. Kuchmov, Pavlovsk, Palace and Park, 1975, pp. 176, 178 and 180). Another related pair with fully patinated bronze body, was sold as from the collection of M. Hubert de Givenchy at Christie’s Monaco, 4 December 1993, lot 39.
