Horizontal rectangle. Designs for a standing and a hanging oil lamp. At left, a Corinthian column, around the shaft of which a laurel bough is wound, rises from a base which is supported by knobs. The column supports the lamp at top, which is shaped like a bossed urn with two spouts laterally. At top right, a lamp with two spouts hangs on two chains from a metal plate which is hanging on a chain. A cover rising from the central part of the lamp hangs on a chain from the bottom of the plate. Both lamps are lighted.
