The base is attached with pins to the sides of the lamp, which are supported on four feet. At the front, the base is covered with an openwork gallery. The openwork sides have the shape of lions standing on hind legs, with their tails blending into vase-shaped oil holders with bobeches. The backplate is also an openwork element; it has the form of a temple façade with a central door opening topped with an arch, a polygonal opening above, and two arched window openings on the sides. The door opening is flanked by pillars supporting a cornice decorated with arcades covered with a sloping roof. A laurel wreath supported by two antithetical lions is attached to the ridge of the roof with rivets.
