Los candelabros de bronce dorado estn diseados en el gusto griego predominante a final del s. XVIII, y concebidos como caritides festivas sujetando jarrones con palmas triunfales a modo de brazos, como los plintos del lado hueco de los altares estn compuestos por estras de mrmol estatuario decorado con bandas de guirnaldas de perlas. La figura de gusto clsico deriva de un modelo que puede haber estado diseado en la dcada de los setenta del s. XVIII por el platero basado en Roma Luigi Valadier (f.1785); y corresponde al dibujo realizado en 1795 de una "figura de bronce dorado y pedestal de mrmol blanco" que fue realizada siguiendo los diseos de su hijo Giuseppe Valadier (f.1817) (ver Alvar Gonzalez-Palacios, Il Tempio del Gusto, Milan 1984 vol 11, p.123 fig 265).
Hay versiones en bronce patinado de la figura representada en este candelabro, con plintos de mrmol con guirnaldas de perlas realizadas por Francesco Righetti alrededor de 1790; por Giacomo Rafaelli en un centro de mesa realizado en 1804; y en una acuarela representando un centro de mesa por Luigi Righetti en 1817 (ver Palacios, figs 266, 267 and 294).
The ormolu candelabra are designed in the late 18th century Grecian manner, and conceived as festive caryatic maidens bearing triunfal palm-wrapped candlebranches in baskets that, like the hollow-sided "altar" plinths, are comprised of antique-fluted statuary marble wreathed by pearled-ribboned bands.
The antique figure derives from a model that may have been invented in the 1770s by the Roman-based goldsmith Luigi Valadier (d.1785); and corresponds to that of a 1795 candlestick drawing of a "figure bronze gilt & white marble pedestal", that was executed after a design by his son Giuseppe Valadier (d.1817) (see Alvar Gonzalez-Palacios, Il Tempio del Gusto, Milan 1984 vol 11, p.123 fig 265)
Patinated bronze versions of the figure featured on candelabra, with pearl-wreathed marble plinths executed about 1790 by Francesco Righetti; on an 1804 centrepiece executed by Giacomo Raffaelli; and in an 1817 watercolour for a centrepiece conceived by Luigi Righetti (see Palacios, figs 266, 267 and 294)
