The shaft rests on a tripod element ornamented with festoons of leaves, while the middle section is supported by a sculptural group composed of three caryatids or nymphs leaning against each other.
The base profile is irregular with projecting corners enriched with bread- or spindle-shaped Moldings and resting on small pad feet.
Conditions: Excellent condition.
Origin: France, 19th century.
Signed at the bottom: H.Picard
