On each corner, similarly decorated plaques flanked by Bacchanalian corner figures on a serpentine plinth mounted with a lion mask issuing scrolling fruiting foliage centered by square block panels with marguerite detailed mounts. Raised on circular bun feet trimmed with berried laurel collars. An old affixed label by a retailer/antique dealer in Scotland reads "From JAMES A.
