Rich in architectural detail, these exceptional pieces feature an allegorical duo comprising a caryatid with crossed arms and a bearded satyr crowned with horns, embodying the refinement of French sculpture from the Grand Siècle. Carved in high relief, the figures rest on pilasters adorned with cascading fruit and pedestals carved with cornucopias.
