Candelabrum

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows two identical crystal candelabras, titled "Candelabrum," by an unknown artist. The candelabras have a central column with a spherical finial on top. The columns are adorned with vertically hanging crystals. Each candelabrum has a wide base, a central stem, and two arms extending from the stem, each with a candle cup. The arms are decorated with crystals that hang down. The bases of the candelabras are square and flat. The candelabras are set against a plain gray background, and their shadows are cast on the surface they are sitting on.
