DescriptionOne of a pair of gold-gilt lily-spray branch forms on top of a large tripod candle stand. The lily-spray forms extend to hold three candles, with a fourth lily-sprig protruding up behind the candle forms. A small urn shape is the central form of the tripod stand. It sits below the branch forms and leads to the three out swept legs.
