About this work

The candlestick is cast and turned in four parts: the base, the lower part of the stem, the drip pan, and the upper part of the stem with the candle holder. On the profiled base follows the lower stem part with a vase-shaped thickening in the middle. The collar is decorated at the top with a ring. The upper part of the stem is baluster-shaped. So is the candle holder, which has one round opening in the middle of the wall. The original method of attachment under the base is no longer visible due to soldering. A candlestick of this type is called a collar or disc candlestick.
