Candle Sconce

Amelia Tuccio

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a rustic metallic wall-mounted candle holder with a high backplate and a circular base containing a cylindrical holder. The color palette is gray and metallic with textured surfaces, giving it a worn and aged appearance. The object is centrally positioned, with the backplate curving at the top and flaring slightly on the sides, and the base with the cylindrical holder positioned towards the bottom where the backplate meets the base.
