The circular base of this pair of candlesticks alternates three acanthus leaves and three tri-lobed palmettes-shells underlined by a frieze of piastres. The central shaft rests on a braid enriched with pearls. Slightly oblong in shape, it is decorated with solids and chiseled wheat ears. Their stalks, of varying lengths, are joined by the torch’s ribbon-like bow, thus suggesting a bouquet. The upper collar is also adorned with a wheat ears frieze. Four-lobed flower buds encircle the fluted upper part, which is hemmed at the neck with a twist and topped with a frieze of water flowers on the rim.
