Candlestick

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Four candlesticks, titled "Candlestick" by an unknown artist. The candlesticks are made of shiny metal, possibly silver, and have a similar design. They have a round base, a long thin stem with vertical ridges, and curved handles on either side. The top of each candlestick is flared and has a small lip. The candlesticks are arranged in a row, with equal spaces between them. The background is a plain gray wall. The image is in black and white. The candlesticks are all roughly the same size and shape.
