Spanish niche of the Carlos IV period, as can be seen by its elegant design in neoclassical style. It presents an architectural structure. Raised on small feet in the shape of a spinning top, from the base ornamented with eggs and rosettes worked in relief starts a semicircular arch framed by fine columns in which the Ionic order is emulated. The entablature is topped with cups with large floral lampshades, finely carved and gilded.
