A pair of dark patinated bronze candelabra stand on circular marble bases, each featuring four reclining lions. Tall, slender shafts split into curved, ornate branches topped with standing figures: Vulcan and Venus on our left, and Adam and Eve on our right, where Eve holds an apple. Each bronze figure wears an elongated, flared headdress that functions as a candle holder. The uniform dark patina contrasts with the smooth, mottled texture of the stone bases.
