About this work
The candelabrum consists 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 with the candleholder. The latter part tapers into a pin, which is riveted into the bottom of the base. The base, rising towards the center, is decorated with fluting, the stem is decorated with a knob halfway up the base and the drip pan grown into a collar. The profiled cylindrical holder has two rectangular openings in the wall, aligned with each other.
