Drawing, "Candelabre du Pavillon Orchestre place dans le bassin des Tuileries en 1834", 1834 (CH 18636095)
Summary
Design for a candelabrum surmounted by a t-shaped superstructure, which is topped with a red polyhedron lantern and two smaller blue lanterns suspended from the perpendicular arm of the superstructure. Below this is the yellow, fluted and cinched columnar body of the candelabrum, which rests on a tall base articulated with abstracted vegetal ornaments in gold, black and blue, which in turn rests on a blue plinth with light blue and red circular ornaments. The candelabrum is nearly identical to those represented in Blouet's drawing of a music pavilion, 1991-17-7.
