A steel candelabra, embellished with gold, rises from a square base with ball feet. Faceted steel beads drape from a decorative top, forming swags down to two curved arms. Three cylindrical candle cups sit atop the arms and central column. Gold bands and intricate patterns ornament the silver-colored surfaces. Rows of polished spheres border the base, which features a central motif with gilded highlights.
