The candlestick is cast and turned in four parts: the base, the lower part of the stem, the collar, and the upper part of the stem with the candle holder. On the round profiled base follows the lower stem part with a rib above and below a spherical baluster decorated with a profiled rib. The collar is decorated at the top with a ring. The upper part of the stem repeats the form of the lower part. The profiled cylindrical holder has two round holes in the middle of the wall. The upper part of the stem is provided with a pin, which is inserted through the lower part and riveted at the bottom into the base. A candlestick of this type is called a collar or disc candlestick.
