Candle Holder - Three Leg

Curator's Notes 

I've always enjoyed looking at antique candleholders at museums like the Met because after all, candlelight was society’s only source of light for far longer than electrical bulbs. There is an immense amount of variety and history behind candleholders as a result.

This propped holder provides a modern update to a classic propped style with a stable footed base and antique blackened brass finish.
