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 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 provided with rings on both sides. The upper part of the stem has the same form as the lower part. The cylindrical profiled drip pan has a protruding rim at the top and 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.
