Candlestick with Shade

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of a pair of candlesticks with shades. The candlesticks are made of metal, likely silver, and have a long, thin, tapered base that flares out wider at the bottom into a flat square base. The stem of each candlestick has vertical ridges and is fluted. Above the base, the stem narrows slightly and then flares out to a cylindrical section. The cylindrical section has a small circular platform on top. On top of each platform is a short metal piece with a ribbed exterior and a small pointed tip. The glass shade is bell-shaped. The image is titled "Candlestick with Shade" by an artist not specified. The background of the image is a plain wall. There is a small rectangular plaque on the surface in front of the right candlestick with words. There is a small metal object on the surface in front of the left candlestick.
