About this work

Candle arm belonging to a candelabrum of two heights with a figure of Mary at the top. The arm is bent twice and is decorated with four grape clusters and five vine leaves. The round drip pan is decorated at the bottom with fish bladder motifs and has a downward-projecting edge of cross-flowers towards the center, which masks the placement on the arm. The candle holder is six-sided, openwork, placed on three vertical stiles, transitioning into a projection with a screw thread. This is the first arm of the upper ring, numbered with 1 round point. The candle holder is numbered with 1 diagonal notch.
