Candlestick

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a pair of candlesticks titled "Candlestick" by an unknown artist. The candlesticks are made of metal, likely silver, and have a shiny finish. They are identical in shape and size. Each candlestick has an octagonal base with a ridged edge, a long, slender stem featuring stacked circular indentations and ridges, and a cylindrical candle holder at the top with a small hole. A small, rectangular plaque is positioned to the bottom right of the candlesticks, and a ruler or measuring device is visible to the bottom left. The background is a plain light-gray color.
