About this work
Large wrought-iron candelabrum standing on three legs. Each leg consists of two C-shaped rods, which come together in a sphere. At the bottom the legs spread outwards. The three legs come together in the middle, where the stem is riveted. The stem has a profiled node in the middle. The two equal parts of the stem below and above the node are twisted halfway. At the top and bottom of the stem is a flat disc. The upper one has a raised rim and serves as a drip pan, in the middle the candle spike protrudes. The drip pan with candle spike is modern.
