Candlestand

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image displays a tall candelabra titled "Candlestand" by unknown artist. The candelabra has a long thin pole with a tapered finial at the top. The pole is attached to a base with three curved legs. Near the top of the pole, there are two arms extending from a central point, each with a candleholder. The candleholders are small and have a decorative scroll design. Behind the candelabra is a white sheet or backdrop. The floor appears to be made of concrete or another hard material. The overall image is in black and white.
