We are absolutely in love with the boldly carved dolphin masks — round-eyed and snub-snouted in the stylised Baroque manner — set between turned volutes and dissolving into a cascade of ribbed acanthus. It is the kind of marine conceit that runs through the finest Baroque carving, drawn from the vocabulary of sea-gods and fountains of Bernini, here rendered in the somewhat lighter, scrolling idiom of the French Régence.
