The photograph shows five ornate metal and crystal candelabras. Four of them are on white marble bases. They have intricate metalwork at the top, featuring floral patterns and acanthus leaves. Each candelabra has a central column and multiple crystal prisms hanging from it. The prisms are long and tapered. The candelabras vary in size, with the central one being the largest. The background is a plain light gray color.
