These tripod stands with scrolled and fretted plam fronds merging with bacchic panther feet are modelled on an antique brazier which formed part of the collection of antiquities discovered at Pompeii and Herculaneum and displayed in the Royal Museum at Naples. It was illustrated in R. Gargiulo, Raccolta de Monumenti pui interessanti del Rl. Museuo Borbonico, Naples, 1825, fig. 79. They were almost certainly manufactured at the foundry established in Naples by sculptor J. Chiuazzi in 1870 and the tripod featured in the catalogue of J. Chiurazzi & Fils, Naples, circa 1900, fig. 184.
