content: Two candelabra designs with cross sections of their bases and scale bars of two French feet ("2 Pieds"). The five-arm candelabrum on the left has arms that emerge from an oval vase and the heads of two sphinxes, sitting atop a base with rams' heads, and goat legs. The six-arm candelabrum at right has for its base a long-necked vase with ram's heads, atop a four-footed base with acanthus scroll friezes. The plate is signed and numbered.
