Empire style candlestick in the form of a sconce.
The figurative shield took the form of a Roman caryatid, placed in a stylized, palmette-like openwork. Her raised arms were decorated with a long drapery, creating a decorative overhang.
It supports a massive platform, from which emerge three arms ending with fluted profits. In their center are pointed arch sleeves enabling the candle to be properly seated.
