Candelabrum

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Candelabrum by S. The image shows a black-and-white photo of a candelabra. The candelabra has a wide base with a short, fluted column rising to a wider section below a narrower section and a flared base for the candle. There are two arms on either side, each with a candle holder, and both are decorated with crystals. The crystals are arranged in graduated lengths from the center to the outside. The crystals are pear-shaped and teardrop-shaped. There are crystals hanging from the arms. The background is plain and light-colored.
