Likely to be one of a pair of matched torchères, very similar to torchères designed by Mathurin Moreau (1822–1912) for the Val d’Osne Foundry. A representation of a Nubian girl dressed in Ancient Egyptian style, with slave bracelets on her arms and ankles. This sculpture is characteristic of the Napoleon III period with its interest in the past, and archaeological findings of the day.
