content: Divided design of a mantel and side paneling for an apartment interior. The carved or molded panel on the left features an obelisk atop a claw-footed table; the obelisk is decorated with a putto holding a helmet, a trophy of military attributes, and a fleur-de-lys at top. The left side of the mantel is carved with shells, mascarons, garlands, swirling candelabra, winged putti, scrolling acanthus leaves, a mascaron clasp, and over-mantel carving. The panel on the right side of the plate has an oval rondel with an egg and dart border, and a cartouche with scrolling acanthus leaves. The right side of the mantel is less ornate and features several lion-head mascarons. The plate is signed and numbered.
