Chamber Candlestick

Henry Hopper

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Chamber Candlestick by Henry Hopper is a black-and-white photograph of a metal candlestick with a tray. The candlestick has a round base that narrows into a short stem with a wider middle section, then tapers to a narrow top section with a flared rim. The tray is round and flat with a handle on one side. The metal appears dark, with visible scratches and wear. The background is a plain light-gray color.
