The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows two tall metal candlesticks, "Candlestick" by unknown artist. They are silver-colored and made of metal. The candlesticks have a wide base with a wavy edge, a long thin stem with several small decorative rings around it, and a flared top with a wavy edge. The bases are round and have a series of curved indentations around the edges. The stems are long and slender, with a series of small decorative rings around them. The tops of the candlesticks are flared and have a wavy edge. The background is a plain gray color. The candlesticks are placed side by side, with the one on the left slightly closer to the viewer than the one on the right.
