These candelabra were often adorned with animal motifs, reflecting Barye's distinctive style. The animals he depicted were often highly detailed, perfectly capturing the creatures' movements and expressions. The first edition of these candelabra dates back to 1876. Arrangements were proposed by Brame between 1876 and 1900, playing in particular with the mounting of the light arms.
