Candlestick

Myer Myers

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The candlestick made by Myer Myers is silver with a wide, ruffled base. The base narrows to a small, decorative cone then widens to a second ruffled section. A decorative cylinder connects to a third cone-shaped section. The top cylinder has a wide lip that folds over. The background is grey that gets darker toward the top.
