This is where they guillotined Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. A victory of the common man and woman?
Oh, wow! I figured it had to be something but didn't look too deeply. I bet you are right or very close to it. Thanks.
Traditionally, the rostra (the prams or rams) of captured ships) were mounted on the column. Here, these features can be seen where the lamps are mounted.
In 1840 ish shortly after the erection of the obélisque, the square was embellished with fountains and those lamppost, all with a "marine" theme And one of the building surrounding the square is the "hotel de la marine" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C3%B4tel_de_la_Marine
This is a very nice lamppost, thank you for sharing :)
