The bright silver tone catches candlelight from every side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe candlestick is made of silver-tone metal. A tapering shaft, broadest at the top, rises from a small cup of cast leaves on a round, flat base with a beaded edge. Above the shaft sits a ringed collar, then an urn-shaped candle cup with banded rims. A shaft that widens as it rises is called \"en gaine\", French for \"sheath\". Empire designers borrowed it from the tapering pedestals of ancient herms, or classical busts on posts, and used it on candlesticks, clocks and furniture legs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe candlestick is in very good vintage condition.
