Légende

The International Exhibition: figures bearing candelabra, in the French Court, by Messrs. Miroy Brothers, Paris, 1862. 'These works are not favoured with very conspicuous positions in the exhibition, where they occur in a compartment under the gallery at the north side of the French Court to which there is no access from the nave. They are bronzed casts of armour-clad lifesize figures, the one bearing a standard, the other a spear, and to the spear and the flagstaff the fifteen branches which bear the sockets for the lights are attached. Each branch from the central stem is inclined downwards, terminates in a light, and branches into two smaller arms, which are also terminated in lights. The whole work is rendered brilliant by glass lustres, which are pendent from the parts of the work'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862.
