Pair of Nubians or torchères in gilded carved wood, richly polychromed in vivid colors.
The two servants in red and gold cape rest on a wooden base painted in "feint marble".
Nubians present the horns of plenty (or Cornucopia in Latin) to bring prosperity and luck to the home.
According to Greek mythology, the horn of plenty adorned the forehead of the goat Amalthea, who fed Zeus as a child. In the form of a horn overflowing with fruit and flowers, it is a theme repeated in certain paintings and statuary: it is one of the traditional attributes of fortune, prosperity and wealth.
