Candlestand

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black candlestand by an unknown artist. It is a black-and-white photograph of a table with a hexagonal top. The table has a short, thick stem that connects to a base with three curved legs. The stem has a decorative section at the top and bottom. The top section features a rounded, vase-like shape, while the bottom has stacked rings. The legs are curved outward and have a flat end. The table top appears to be made of wood and has a smooth surface. The background is a plain light-gray color.
