The middle section has a twisted rope-like design. Above that is a section with a floral pattern. The top section is short and cylindrical with an etched design around the edge. The candlesticks are made of silver and have a shiny finish. They are placed on a plain gray background. The artist is Samuel Siervent and the title is Candlestick.
