About this work

Candelabrum of wrought iron with a base of three legs, ending in a stylized dragon's head. On the base, the octagonal stem with a node is placed. At the transition from the three legs to the stem, three flat decorations are riveted. At the top of the stem, three arms with single leaf decoration sprout. Above this, a flat, clover-shaped drip pan is placed with five holes, through which respectively the candle pin and the four candle holders are inserted. The candle holders are riveted to the arms of the stem. A round hole is made in one of the legs.
