DescriptionEach silver candelabrum is composed of a rectangular base supporting two large adjacent rings soldered together. Two additional smaller overlapping rings branch out from each larger ring, creating an overall shape of an upside down arc. Atop the smallest ring at either end of the candelabra as well as spanning the intersection of the two large center rings is a circular plate with a slightly flared lip, and a short, cylindrical candleholder.
