Candelabrum

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photo of a metal candelabrum. The candelabrum is made of metal, likely silver or another shiny metal, and has a dark patina. The base of the candelabrum is a short, fluted column that widens into a circular, scalloped edge. A single curved arm extends from the side of the base, curving upward and ending in a flared, wavy edge. The arm emerges from a spiral volute. The candelabrum sits on a black rectangular base. The background of the image is a plain gray color. The photo has a black border around it.
