About this work
The candelabrum is composed of the following parts driven from sheet metal: the foot, the nodus, the stem, the drip pan, and the candle pin. Two profiled rings are located at the top and bottom of the stem. On the broad, arched, eight-lobed foot is placed the fairly flat nodus, the decoration of which corresponds to that of the foot. The stem is twisted. The drip pan is in the form of an eight-petaled rosette. The candelabrum has a hole at the edge of the foot and above it an opening in the nodus. The stem and drip pan are soldered.
