Candlestick

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Candlestick by unknown artist shows a shiny metal candlestick holder. The holder is tall and slender with a wide base that tapers as it rises. The base is circular and has a decorative edge. A short stem rises from the base, then a larger decorative section. Above that is a long thin section followed by a short decorative section. The top finally flares out to form a short cup to hold a candle. The background is a plain light grey color.
