The image shows four candlesticks, Candlestick by an unknown artist. The candlesticks are silver and have a similar design. They are tall and slender, with a round base that tapers upward. The main body of each candlestick is shaped like a vase, with a long, narrow neck and a flared top. There are two curved handles on either side of each candlestick. The background is a plain gray wall. The candlesticks are arranged in a row, with equal spaces between them. The image is in black and white.
