Candlestick

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Candlestick by Charles and Ray Eames. A black and white image of a short and stout candlestick holder made of glass. The base has swirling black and white patterns. The piece tapers up to a fluted section then another short taper to a small round dish at the top. A distinct ridge can be seen on both the top and bottom of the piece. The background is dark and the object sits on a surface which is lighter.
