Design for two chandeliers. Left, is a chandelier with a lyre as the shaft. Branches of bottom row of candle shafts form French horns and top branches of candle shafts form flower boughs. Right, is a chandelier with the shaft formed by four children standing on fantastic birds, which, in turn, stand on a sphere. Sockets for candles are placed in the children's hands and on the heads of the birds.
