Candlestick

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows two identical candlesticks. The candlesticks are made of metal, likely silver, and have a shiny finish. They are octagonal based, with a flat base that tapers into a series of stacked rings. The candlesticks have a cylindrical candle holder at the top with a small circular indentation on one side. The background is gray. The candlesticks are symmetrical and face forward. They are titled "Candlestick" and made by an unknown artist.
