Chandelier

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photo of a chandelier by an unknown artist titled "Chandelier". The chandelier has a dark metal frame with a central body that tapers to a narrow neck and then flares out into a wide, inverted, vase-like shape. Attached to the bottom of the central body are two levels of curved arms, with the top level having six curved arms and the bottom level having six curved arms. Each arm has a candleholder with a white, unlit candle. The chandelier is hanging from a chain. The background is a plain wall.
