Wall arm with back plate with the arms of the Spiegel family, The back plate is shaped like a shield with a broad edge of one another and behind each other along curling volutes, some smooth, decorated with leaves, others with a structure of rows of spheres. The latter stem from horns of folds. Between the volutes there are fields of grille with rosettes on a roughened ground. Stems with tulips, which depend on the volutes above, swing over the field in the middle below. The plate is closed at the top and bottom by fanning, foam and leaf-like motifs. The crowning is flanked by two eagles seated on the volutes with their heads turned towards each other. Attached to the foam motif on the underside is the swinging arm built up from leaves decorated with leaves, with the one turned from A to the left and that from B to the right. The arm carries a large, hexagonal grease trap with a round floor in the middle and an applied, profiled outer edge. A round, constricted foot rests on it, which is also hexagonal, cast, vase-shaped fat trap with profiled lower and upper edges. The sides of the candle holder are alternately engraved with a rosette in a shaded field and a leaf motif motif. A short copper strip is attached to the rear of the plate, from which the whole can be hung. Below the middle a screw protrudes from the plate (in both cases originally two), a wooden back plate might have been attached there. The Spiegel coat of arms with helmet, helmet sign and coverings is engraved on the shield., Hendrik Swierinck, Amsterdam, 1745, silver (metal), h 60.4 cm × w 40.1 cm × d 18.8 cm × w 1502.0 gr
