DescriptionThis pair of wrought iron candelabras includes a thin, vertical, metal rod held in place by a three-pronged base at the bottom. The ends of the base include endings that curve inwards. Moving upwards, a decorative embellishment is visible just underneath the three main candle holders. The two candle holders on the side encompass arched and straight segments, sitting perpendicular to each other, creating sharp, pointed edges, while the center apparatus stands straight upwards. The candle-holders themselves encompass flared, flattened, and rounded plates at the top with a central hole, serving as a space to hold a candle.
