The stamp can suggests that the wall lights are probably featured to the bronze master model and that these wall-lights were previously cast by Bronzier Millet (Maison Millet). This model was subsequently produced by Henri Vian who could have conceivably bought the master model from one of the four dispersal sales of Millet's stock, following Théodore Millet's death in 1905.
