Description |
English: Vertical rectangle. At bottom, a molded panel in the entire width of the sheet, with a plan of the bases, either with a correspondingly colored background. Above in the interval between the bases is a tablet with the scale: Piede di Bologna. The candelabra have Neo-Renaissance forms. The left one is supported by three leaf feet. The base consists of acanthus scrolls, connected below by other scrolls, and a baluster inside. The lower part of the shaft is a vase, with cherubim supporting festoons at the main part of the body, the upper a fluted baluster, with four--three are visible--as broad, curled leaves below the capital. The bowl of the socket has a cresting of curled leaves. At right: the base consists of three scrolls, the lower spirals of which are connected by a clasp, and parts of which are the feet, and of an inner vase, the mouth of which forms together with the base of the baluster a knob below at the shaft. At the rim of the vase are cherubim. The baluster has below a leaf calyx and a moulding; its shaft is fluted. The bowl of the socket has a cresting of leaves. The lower parts of the candles are visible. |
