The Girandole by New England Glass Company features two candelabras side by side. The candelabras are gold with white bases, holding three white candles each. The bodies of the candelabras are made of clear glass with blue details and are adorned with numerous rectangular clear crystal drops. The background of the image gradually darkens from light gray at the bottom to dark gray at the top.
