The fine giltwood pedestals in this pair are also known as torchère stands, their function once being to serve as supports for large candles. Each pedestal features a tripod base with scrolled giltwood feet, above of which is a moulded baluster form column carved with foliate motifs. The column of each pedestal supports a circular top, likewise carved with intricate foliate designs. The pair is a fine example of the Rococo style.
