Candlestick

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Two candlesticks, titled "Candlestick" by an unspecified artist, with a dark metallic finish. The candlesticks have a round base with an etched design. A short, wide stem with stacked rings leads to a thin, tapered section, then another short section with stacked rings, followed by a wider section. A cylindrical section with a small lever on the side supports a short, flared top. The candlesticks are identical and symmetrical. The background is light gray.
