Candlestick

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black candlestick by artist Walter Schott. The candlestick has a wide, octagonal base. The base has a concave curve and rounded edges. A short, thin stem connects the base to a thicker middle section with decorative rings. A smaller stem connects the middle section to a short, cylindrical candleholder. A small lever protrudes from the right side of the middle section. The background is gray.
