DescriptionDescription: These bracket lamps are early examples of incipient 18th-century neo-classicism. The gilt candle-holders and stems spring from an acanthus leaf and end in grease guards shaped like laurel leaves with fluted candle rings. In the middle rises a stem surmounted by a garland and ending underneath in a cluster of fruit. The design and decoration use natural forms but the total symmetry of its austere frame provides a graceful expressiveness.
