About this work
The foot, stem, and drip pan are cast in one piece. The three legs, the candle pin, and the bottom of the drip pan are soldered to it. The profiled conical foot transitions into a profiled stem, which has the form of an urn, a knop, and a baluster, and then into a profiled drip pan with a sloping rim. The baluster legs, like the other parts, are adorned with ring profiles and have decorated projections at the top, which are soldered to the outside of the foot. The rim of the foot is turned on the inside. The pin has been restored. The drip pan has been restored in one place by the founder who made the object.
