Brass candlestick

A brass candlestick. It consists of a triangular base with 3 small curled feet. A smaller triangle is built on top of the base, which is attached to a cocoon-shaped knop. A swirling stream of brass is attached to the top of the knop and ends in an flat circular disc on top. This extends to the candleholder itself, which is set on top of the disc. The candlestick appears to be heavily tarnished. It is one of a pair with PLT0733.
