Candlestick

Antoine-Louis Barye

Cleveland Museum of Art

The candlestick is made of dark metal with a greenish patina. It features a slender, twisted stem. The base has four curved legs with scroll-like ends, connected by curved pieces. A leaf-like design adorns the center of the base. Three curved supports extend from the stem, each featuring two birds, one on each side, with their heads facing outward. The top of the candlestick has a flared, scalloped edge. A flared, bell-shaped piece is positioned below the top. The background is gray. "Candlestick" by Antoine-Louis Barye.
