The pedestals are designed in the form of classical columns. They are placed on square white onyx plinths which are set on slim ormolu (gilt bronze) feet. The pedestals stand on circular ormolu bases, which are positioned on tall white onyx blocks, edged with foliate ormolu bands. The pedestals feature cylindrical white onyx shafts, crowned by ormolu capitals. These capitals are decorated with wave-like motifs, seashells and egg-and-dart patterns. They support square, stepped white onyx tops.
