Girandole

New England Glass Company

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows two identical wall-mounted candelabras. The candelabras have a gold-colored metal base and frame. The base is square and white. There are three white tapered candles on each candelabra. Each candle is in a gold holder. The candle holders are adorned with clear crystal or glass pieces that resemble icicles or prisms. The crystals are hanging in rows from the frame. The crystals are clear and rectangular in shape with pointed ends. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The candelabras are placed on a surface that is the same color as the background. The overall appearance suggests a product photo for an antique or luxury item. The pieces are labeled as Girandole by New England Glass Company.
