The three feet, the foot, the stem, the drip pan and the candle pin are cast separately. The feet are in the form of sirens. The profiled foot is decorated on top with knops. The stem consists of a leaf-motif decorated inverted baluster, a middle part, which is decorated with knops and cannelures and has three sections, and a baluster, which is also partially decorated with knops on the underside and has cannelures above. The drip pan is also provided with knops on the underside, has twelve openings in the form of standing rectangles in the wall and a profiled overhanging edge. At the bottom of the candlestick the grooves of the lathe can be seen. The color of the foot and stem differ slightly. The cavity in the stem is plugged with tin and the feet are reattached. The candlestick has attachments with a pin and a drip pan in the center and three arms with candle holder which were made in the same period.
