![A graphite drawing of an elaborate two-tiered candelabra, on either side of each tier an armature of curled foliage extends outwards with four miniature chandeliers hanging from the branches of the bottom tier and two miniature chandeliers hanging from the branches of the top tier. The candelabra has two tapered sloping legs both of which end with a zoomorphic creature that each rest on a columned base. In the center of the legs is a dish on a tapered base which holds a smaller candelabra-like structure. The bottom tier has a rounded top and tapered triangular base and is decorated with three ram's heads. The top tier is more fluted in shape and decorated with three anthropomorphic heads. The top of the candelabra is a pine cone which is placed on an hourglass shaped structure. Underneath the candelabra in the bottom right [Robeto Adam, Scozese architetto] is written in graphite cursive script. The paper shows signs of age in its greying color and brown stain in the upper right.](https://images.collection.cooperhewitt.org/237196_e7826865c8230814_n.jpg "Drawing, Candelabra, ca. 1755")
