Very rare, especially painted, with eight arms of light. The gilded bronze light arms are removable and each surmount a mask of a bearded man crowned with laurel leaves. The mantelpiece is rectangular, with curves and recesses. It is topped by a mirror. Its surround is painted with garlands of pink flowers, butterflies and a crowned numeral inscribed in a cartouche on a light blue background. Above all, it rests on eight astonishing ormolu ducks.
