About this work

A spiral wrought-iron candelabrum on three flat feet, which have holes at the ends. Above these are four C-shaped flat bars, upon which the openwork spiral stem is riveted with a straight pin. This pin is screwed to the bottom of the feet. In the stem is a walnut-shaped candle holder with a small curved handle, so that the candle holder is adjustable in height. At the top of the stem is a handle.
