Candlestick

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows two candlesticks by artist "The Paul Revere House". The candlesticks are made of metal, likely silver. The candlesticks have a wide, flat base with four curved edges. The base leads to a thin conical shape, then two rounded segments of decreasing size. The top segment is narrower and leads to a short flared opening. The two candlesticks are shown side by side on a gray background.
