Description
The finely chiselled columns, with acanthus-leaf capitals and flattened spherical bases, rest on round plinths decorated with floral motifs; the drip catchers are also fire-gilded. Apart from slight wear to the polished gilding and one instance of minor deformation at the base of one candlestick, these are in good condition.
