Glass Globe

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a candelabra titled "Glass Globe" by an unnamed artist. The candelabra has a central column with vertical ridges and a small base. A large glass globe sits atop the column, with a metal stem protruding from its center. Five arms radiate from the stem, each holding a candleholder with a frosted glass shade. The frosted glass shades have decorative etching on the upper portion. Each arm has a curved metal piece supporting the candleholder. The background is a plain wall with a floor that meets the wall at a slight angle. The image is rendered in black and white.
