Candlestick

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Silver candlestick by artist unknown titled "Candlestick". A silver object, a candlestick, with a round base with a slightly raised edge. The base supports a short, thick stem with a wider, rounded middle section. A short section narrows to a thin support for the candle cup. The cup is funnel-shaped and slightly flared at the top. The entire piece appears to be made of shiny silver. The background is a light gray color.
