Each composed of a circular reeded plinth topped with a handsome urn shaped finial and resting on a superb scrolled base with a central sea shell motif, acanthus leaf sides and beautifully modelled pomegranite form feet. Acorn shaped log stops. Original gilding, fine details of the decorative elements and substantial original log supports.
