Glass Globe

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a candelabra titled "Glass Globe" by an unknown artist. The candelabra has a central column with vertical ridges, and a fluted base. Six curved arms extend from the center, each holding a candleholder with a frosted glass shade featuring an etched design. The shades are tapered, wider at the top than the bottom. A large frosted glass globe sits atop the candelabra, centered above the arms. The background is a plain wall with a light-colored floor. The entire image is in black and white.
