Candelabrum of porcelain. Formed of a group consisting of a man seated on a tree-stump playing bagpipes, with a dog at his feet. Two branches, each bearing a socket for a candle, spring from the sides of the stump, and a bocage with flowers in natural colours fills the space between them. The whole is supported by an elaborately scrolled rococo base.
