Candlestick

E. Durnall

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Two silver candlesticks, identical in design, with flared bases featuring a wavy edge and a decorative pattern etched into the metal. The stems are slender, with a series of stacked, rounded sections that taper slightly towards the top. Each candlestick has a short, flared section just below the top, followed by a narrower, cylindrical section. The tops of the candlesticks are flared and flat. The candlesticks are positioned side by side on a plain gray background, with a subtle shadow cast behind them. The candlesticks are by E. Durnall and titled "Candlestick".
