The main arm, arched in a semicircle, is adorned with openwork designs, symmetrical scrolls, and small applied enameled flowers, adding a delicate polychrome touch.
The molded and finely chased candle cups extend a network of scrolls and foliage typical of late Neoclassical ornamentation. The whole retains its original gilding, with slight wear and traces of green oxidation visible in some areas, attesting to its age and patina.

French work from the late 19th century, circa 1880. Very good overall condition, patina consistent with age.
