Short description
This candlestick has a heavy base. The height of the candles can be varied by turning the ring, which supports the arms along the main shaft. It is similar to other candlesticks, whose constituent parts are finished in various ways: while the bases and shafts are generally the same, the work on the arms is different, which are always shaped in two arches, but sometimes have a larger arch on top.
Pietro Cannata
