English: Vertical rectangle. Design for a candlestick intended to be executed in gilded and green bronze and white and colored marble. Base supported by two lying golden griffons. Upon a half-circular base with reliefs representing antique scenes stands a column with the statue of Apollo on top. Two arms with burning candles are springing from ram heads, below the Ionic capital. A snake is wrapped around the column. Before the column stands a tripod, between two priestesses supporting with their erected outside arms cornucopias with a burning candle in each. At the bottom, the plan of the base. |
