Description
The two large, three-flamed girandoles each have three-pass floral relief volute bases on three feet, which stand on silver plinths. The shaft mounted on the base has a slender baluster shape with relief decoration. The chandelier top is decorated with acanthus leaves and tendrils. It is crowned in the centre by a round eave bowl with a crater-shaped spout and flame-like top. The candlestick arms, which sweep out to three sides, also carry round eaves bowls with crater vase-shaped spouts. Engraved: "Dem geliebten Vater an seinem 70ten Geburtstage, seine Kinder" and "In deines Lebens Abend leuchte hell; des Höchsten Gnade; zu der Deinen Liebe".
