Description
The fluted columns, with acanthus-leaf bases and capitals, rise from the round plinths decorated with sphinxes, kitharas and floral motifs; the drip trays are also fire-gilded. Apart from slight wear to the polished gilding and two minor deformations on the base of one candlestick, the candlesticks are in good condition.
