Description

The set of four candelabra comprises two larger and two slightly smaller candelabra, all of identical design. Each of the candelabra is set on an ormolu tri-form plinth, on which an ormolu base sits, in the form of a triangular tapered obelisk with winged paw feet and decorated all around with reliefs of cherubs gesturing to stars. Atop the bases site ormolu globes, upon which stand classically dressed full length female figures in patinated bronze. Each figure holds four ormolu branches with lights and drip pans.
