介绍（中）	这四盏镀金的青铜壁灯上装饰着爱情的寓言。树干顶部有火炬状的凹槽，顶部有一群云，上面有两只亲吻的鸽子和一朵月桂喷雾。从茎上长出两个阿拉伯式的树枝，由一个丝带结连接在一起，上面装饰着葡萄串和棘叶。在中心，第三只手臂比另外两只手臂高，末端是一个赤裸的小丘比特，手里拿着一颗燃烧的心这些所谓的"情侣"壁灯的原始模型是由古铜色画家Pierre François Feuchère于1787年为Garde Meuble总监Marc Antoine Thierry de Ville d’Avray的卧室制作的。皮埃尔·弗朗索瓦·费歇（Pierre François Feuchère）的工作室是18世纪末生产豪华镀金青铜的最重要的工作室之一。由于它的成功，Feuchères产生了这种壁灯的不同变体。一年后，玛丽·安托瓦内特（Marie Antoinette）在圣克劳德城堡（Château de Saint Cloud）的化妆柜（现为巴黎卢浮宫博物馆收藏）制作了两副，另外两副是为圣克劳德国王私人内阁（现为爱丽舍宫）制作的，在那里，鸽子被一束水果和鲜花取代这些壁灯是新古典主义风格的象征，在18世纪末和19世纪被多次重复使用，这使得MMA模型的精确年代测定变得非常困难。
介绍（英）	These four gilt-bronze wall lights are decorated with allegories of love. The stem is fluted in the form of a torch flaring at the top and surmounted by a group of clouds on which two kissing doves and a laurel spray are poised. From the stem emerge two arabesque-shaped branches, linked by a ribbon knot and ornamented with grape bunches and acanthus leaves. In the center, a third arm, higher than the two others, terminates in a small naked cupid holding a flaming heart. The original model of these so-called « lovebirds » wall lights, was made in 1787 by the bronzier Pierre-François Feuchère for the bedchamber of Marc-Antoine Thierry de Ville d'Avray, Intendant Général du Garde-Meuble. The workshop of Pierre-François Feuchère, who worked with his son Lucien-François, was one of the most important for the production of luxurious gilt bronze at the end of the eighteenth century. Because of its success, the Feuchères produced different variants of this wall light. One year later, two pairs were made for Marie-Antoinette’s cabinet de toilette at the Château de Saint-Cloud (now in the collection of the Musée du Louvre, Paris) and two others for the private Cabinet of the King at Saint-Cloud (now in the Elysée Palace) where the doves were replaced by a bouquet of fruits and flowers. Emblematic of the neoclassical style, these wall lights have been repeated many times during the late eighteenth century and nineteenth century, making a precise dating of the MMA models very difficult.
