About this work

Iron candelabrum on three legs, which slope downwards at a sharp angle and whose slightly wider, fluted ends curl under. On the legs is riveted a round, rod-shaped stem with a square leaf-shaped plate between them. Halfway up the stem is a flat strip that curls down into two half-circles. Above this is placed a hexagonal drip-pan, with the candle-holder at the edge and a rod in the middle that ends at the top in a hook, allowing the candelabrum to be used while hanging.
