Pair of pedestals — Samuel Norman — 1765

Wood, carved, painted and gilt. The pedestal is rectangular with a tapering shaft. The projecting cornice is carved with leaf mouldings and the frieze with three circular foliage paterae between swags of husks attached to smaller paterae. On three sides the shaft has sunk panels enclosed within leaf mouldings and decorated with interlacing sprays of leaves and berries designed as pendants. The plinth is carved at the top with two rows of decorated mouldings. The back of the pedestal, intended to stand against a wall, is without ornament.
