About this work
Two almost identical silver candlesticks. Stem built up from four series of three vines that curl elegantly at the bottom around the open foot ring and serve as feet. Just above the foot ring the vines merge to split again in groups of two in a node that is located halfway up the stem. This scheme is repeated in a second larger node, located under the top of the stem. From here the vines open as curling petals, from which the candle holder rises like a tulip-shaped calyx.
