Candlestand

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photo of a Candlestand by an unknown artist. A thin, long, straight metal pole with a flat rectangular base that tapers to a point at the bottom. The pole stands on three thin curved legs. At the top of the pole is a thin shelf with two small cylinders on top. Below the shelf is a thin rectangular frame with a rounded loop in the center. The background is a plain light-colored wall. A curved line runs across the image from the bottom left to the top right.
