About this work

The square object on legs, in which a small candle can be placed, has a square dome-shaped openwork crown. On three upright sides there is an oval green glass with a knob in the middle, which serves to intensify the light. The back with the handle has a chased ornament with, among other things, shells and a bunch of grapes.
