The nozzles cast with dancing classical maidens, on acanthus-cast bases
Each 14 in. (36 cm.) high
These candlesticks resemble the bases of the Vulliamy candlesticks from Fonthill (lot 38). A related design by Jean-Guillaume Moitte for the Auguste Workshop is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (1978.521.4).
