Candlestick

Adrian Bancker

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a candlestick made of silver. The candlestick has an octagonal base with a beveled edge. The base is flat and wide. A short stem rises from the base. The stem is joined to a larger octagonal section. The stem narrows to a thin, elongated section that bulges in the middle. The top of the stem is joined to a short, thick cylindrical section with a small circular rim at the top. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The candlestick by Adrian Bancker has a shiny surface.
