Candlestick

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows Candlestick by unknown artist. Two metal candlesticks with a wide base and a narrow top. The base is round and flat with a short stem rising from it. The stem is decorated with three molded rings. Above the rings, a short, narrow neck supports a candle cup. The metal appears to be silver or pewter. Both candlesticks have a small lip around the top. They are shown from the front and are identical. The background is a plain gray color. There is a small label on the right side of the image.
