Pair of two-light chandeliers with a white marble base and gilt-bronze details made in gilt-bronze that each show a halfnaked Cupid or little angel with its body adorned with two garlands of roses and holding a large stem that divides in two and is decorated with leaves and topped with two large roses, which serve as a base for the candles. The pedestals They have a circular base of gilded bronze with disk legs on which a disk of greater diameter and less height than the next has been placed, thus creating two levels, enhanced with a band of pearls and a garland of laurels.
