About this work

The candlestick is composed of two cast and turned parts: the foot with the lower part of the stem and the drip pan or collar with the upper part of the stem and the candle holder. The lower piece consists of a round, vaulted, and profiled foot and a baluster-shaped stem. The upper piece consists of a drip pan profiled at the top and bottom, a profiled stem that is baluster-shaped at the bottom and cylindrical at the top. The inside of the stem is filled with iron and lead and has the iron candle pin in the center at the very top, which was presumably added later.
