Candlestick

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Candlestick by an unknown artist shows four identical candlesticks lined up side by side. The candlesticks are made of shiny metal, likely silver. They have a wide base that tapers up to a narrow neck with vertical ridges. Two curved handles are on either side, connected near the bottom and top. The top part widens out to hold a candle. The background is a plain gray wall. The candlesticks are sitting on a white surface.
