Candlestick

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image titled "Candlestick" by an unnamed artist shows two identical candlesticks. The candlesticks are made of metal, likely silver, and have a fluted column in the middle. They have a round base and a decorative base plate. The candlesticks each have a short cylindrical piece on top with a conical tip. They are topped with clear glass candle shades that flare out at the top. The background is a plain wall behind a table or shelf. The image is in black and white.
