Candelabrum supported by lions
From the collection of Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. Free to download, adapt and use — no permission needed.
The object consists of the following parts: the foot and stem cast as one piece, the drip pan, the candle spike, and the three feet. The stem is hollow inside up to the upper knop. The round foot, slightly rising towards the center, transitions into the round stem with three knops. The round drip pan, which has almost the same diameter as the foot and tapers slightly at the bottom, is attached to the stem. The raised rim with six crenellations is enlivened by six ornaments consisting of perforations in the form of a trefoil. The substantial candle spike is attached on top, profiled at its base. The foot, stem, drip pan, and spike are decorated with fine grooved rings. The candlestick has three lugs on the inside at the bottom, to which the three feet in the form of lion cubs are soldered. These are not original and were added later.
