About this work

Candle arm belonging to a three-tier brass candelabrum. The S-shaped arm has a curl and transitions outward into a flat thickening with a screw hole. The candle holder with the drip pan is secured therein. The drip pan is ribbed and profiled around the opening on the underside and features two pairs of grooved rings. The cylindrical candle holder, which has a profiled projecting rim, two grooved rings, and a thickening at the bottom, transitions into a baluster with a threaded end and a knob at the bottom, through which the central hole is visible. This is the third arm of the lower tier ring, unnumbered. The pin, used to attach the arm to the tier ring, has a baluster shape.
