The carved decoration of the skirt in the shape of coils of acanthus leaves terminating in two griffins facing each other at centre can be found in many other pieces produced in Florence in the last quarter of the Eighteenth century, such as in the pelmets of a pair of monumental mirrors executed by Lorenzo Dolci for the Grand Dukes of Tuscany for Pitti and Livorno palaces.
