Candelabrum

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Silver candelabra titled "Candelabrum" by an unknown artist. Two ornate candelabras, each with a central columnar base adorned with ribbed details and a figure carved in relief. The left figure appears to be a woman with long hair and a decorative top. The right figure appears to be a woman with a bow on her chest. Above each figure is a short column with an ornate rectangle on top. Three curved arms extend from each rectangle. Each arm holds a white tapered candle. A short wire extends from the base of each candelabra. The background is plain and light-colored.
