About this work
The candlestick is composed of two cast and turned parts: the base with the lower part of the stem and the drip pan, and the upper part of the stem and the candle holder. The upper half is riveted to the base with a pin. The lower part consists of a round profiled base, a baluster-shaped stem, and a profiled drip pan at the bottom, the collar. The upper part consists of a baluster-shaped stem and a profiled cylindrical holder, which has two round holes in the wall, aligned with each other. The turning rings are visible at the bottom of the base.
