About this object

Background is in blue celeste. Two satyr heads with curled rams' horns in ormolu for handles. The ormolu top with a pine cone finial inverts to a candle holder. There is a band of diagonal swirl fluting, the channels painted white, on the neck and on the pedestal base. Bulbous body is painted with two shaped medallions, one with a landscape with trees by water, the other with a boy, blindfolded, and a girl playing blind man's bluff. A narrow ormolu stem separates the body from the pedestal which is bordered by a row of ormolu beads at the foot and has indented corners.
