The Candelabra are fabricated in silver and have a tapered lozenge form which is recessed and enamelled to give four panels. As the form rises, the lozenge shape turns into two scrolls, which again, are part enamelled, and represent trees. Between the two scrolls there is a dragon on the left hand candelabra and a sea serpent on the right; they each hold an arm between their wings which terminate in two candleholders with enamelled drip pans. Above the arms, the dragon protects a gilded apple and the sea serpent protects a gilded shell. They represent sunset and sunrise, and the ‘dialogue’ between these two monsters says something about the night that the candles they hold light up. Height approx. 370mm.
